In Washington as you are in Florida.

And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

How to change the world from your little place in it?
***
Speak about your passions a little.
Do what you’re scared of a little.

Spread hope a little.
Love yourself at least a little.
