That indeed, is something novel and a routine change. This afternoon, as I was merrily strolling along, I was dazzled and enchanted by a bird's cheerful beautiful melodic song. The sun was beaming so brightly, The leaves on the trees, were radiantly smiling and dancing sprightly. Then suddenly it began to rain, But the sunshine and blue sky did not change to gray, but beautiful it did remain. I am confused, and cannot understand, How such a strange occurrence can occur in my New York City land. Cynthia Groopman Copyright © Cynthia L.

As he grew nearer he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up, and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean. As our friend approached even closer he noticed that the man was picking up Starfish that had washed up onto the beach, and one at a time, he was throwing them back into the ocean. The first man was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good Evening Friend, I was wondering what are you doing?" And he replied, "I'm throwing these Starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all these Starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they will die from the lack of oxygen." "I understand" my friend replied "but there must be thousands of Starfish on this beach and you couldn't possibly get to all of them. They're are simply to many and don't you realize that this is happening on hundreds of beaches up and down this coast... can't you see that that you can't possibly make a difference? The local native smiled, bent down, picked up yet another Starfish and as he threw it back out into the sea, he replied, "It made a difference to that one!" You may feel like you cannot make a difference in the world today, but you CAN make a difference in one life at a time.
