I want to part with you these words of wisdom you could ponder upon:

"I am only one,
  but still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
  but still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
  I will not refuse to do something I can do."
Edward Everett Hale

Editing your work had been more of a pleasure to men than you'll ever know. What you wrote here is very real to me. I can't help but feel the pulse of every incident flashing like a panorama.
