Anyone's individual contributions to this project are drops in the ocean,
BUT
the ripple effect of just one drop is unknowable and unstoppable,
AND
without all those drops, there would be no ocean and no ripples.

ALSO

but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. (Kabir)

AND
You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in one drop (Rumi)
