    That's what makes it so beautiful to learn what I can. I do sometimes feel overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, but what grounds me is taking the time to feel joy at each wonderful little thing I do have the opportunity to learn, as well as the opportunity to share my learning with others.

It gives me a sense of clarity because it reminds me that one of my duties is simply to just "hold the camera", so to speak — to be the anchor for my particular, situated perspective
