"Changing the world" and a "haystack" recipe

CHANGING THE WORLD (UNKNOWN MONK 1100AD)   When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.   Haystack   1 lb. Soda crackers crushed Hot rice ( 2 c.
