That’s the spirit! There’s a wonderful parable about a farmer who was walking his land and found a tiny bird lying in a wagon road, feet straight up in the air.
Feeling pity for the tiny creature, he knelt to see if the bird was dead or injured. “Can you speak, little one?”
The bird answers “Yes.”
“What are you doing?”
The little bird says, “I heard the sky was falling and I’m holding it up.”
The farmer says kindly, “You can’t hold up the great wide sky by yourself, my friend.”
The bird replies, “One does what one can.”
And the sky has not fallen yet.
