Ruby Mason reflected “When I first got involved with Columbia Gorge Habitat, I thought my goodness the need is so great, what can building one home a year make? But when it seems the need is so overwhelming, I’m reminded of the Starfish and the Sea Story.
An old man had a habit of going down to the beach every day to write. One morning after a big storm, he noticed that the beach was littered with starfish as far as the eye could see. As he drew closer he saw a young man who was reaching down and throwing something into the ocean. He called out to the young man, “What are you doing?” To which the young man replied, “I’m throwing starfish back into the ocean - when the sun gets strong they will die if they stay on this beach. The old man shook his head and said, “Son, I don’t think you will make much difference; there are literally thousands of starfish on this beach. At that point, the young man reached down and threw another starfish into the sea and replied "it made a difference to this one."
