When I am feeling low and ineffective about all the evil being done in my name as a citizen of the United States, I can knit a pair of baby socks, a hat, or a sweater and send it to a basement near Market Street in San Francisco. Once there, my knitted items will be packed into boxes with other woolens, by kind-hearted volunteers, and packaged to be shipped half way around the world. After travelling over sea, by air, over rocky roads, and through battlezones, my little socks or hat will finally make its way to its destination. This could be a school or a maternity hospital where it will warm a baby's tootsies, a student's head, and another mother's heart. I may not be changing the world or my government's actions, but I can change the world for a moment for one other human being.
