What is the best that lies within us? Of how much are we capable? None of us yet knows. An old Arabic legend tells of a rider finding a spindly sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road. He dismounted and asked the sparrow why his feet were in the air. Replied the sparrow, I heard the heavens were going to fall today. And I suppose you think your puny bird legs can hold up the whole universe? laughed the horseman. Perhaps not, said the sparrow with conviction, but one does whatever one can.
