I was thinking that when I was younger I would have jumped right in with big and burning issues as the quests within which to cast myself as 'hero/leader/shining example': war, hunger, disease, poverty, inequalities based on race, sex, age, or any perceived differences, the assault on the ecosystem, etc., etc.

Now my quest has narrowed down to a smaller, more do-able one - to be kind in all my approaches; and to be ready to step up and do the small things I can do as need arises.

More of a 'Samwise' approach to things, than a Frodo.
