From the great country song by Randy Travis “Point of Light”:
There's a point when you cannot walk away When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the words you say
There's a point you must decide just to do it 'cause it's right
That's when you become a point of light

There's a darkness that everyone must face
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light

All it takes is a point of light,
A ray of hope in the darkest night.
If you see what's wrong,
And you try to make it right,
You will be a point of light.
I quote this because while you call it the “Let It Go”, board, I call it the “dim bulb” board. We have one, sometimes maybe two “Points of Light” in office, but the rest are just feeble “dim bulbs”.
To the Directors of WPA: If you see what's wrong, and you try to make it right you will be a point of light. If not, you’re just another dim bulb.
