In the same theme as my last post, I found this quote today about rivers and tributaries. Kinda fun to think about in the context of our time with the Waorani. They live in the headwaters where the tributaries eventually become the Amazon River.
"Rivers gain more attention than the little streams that create them. You can name the great rivers of the world but you cannot name their tributaries. However, without the tributaries there would be no river. It must be remembered, too, that the smaller streams, while less well known, are purer and are found on a higher elevation. Some of our lives are tributary lives. It is our role to provide the pure water from the higher elevation that enables another to be a mighty river of power and influence."
--Robert C. Shannon
It it the little, pure contributions that make up even the largest of rivers of power and influence. We are all tributaries to The Kingdom.
