"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic: It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. And if we do act in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think humans should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us is itself a marvelous victory." Howard Zinn
"History is only a habit" Howard Zinn
"You can't kill the spirit,
She is like a mountain..."
from Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver
My Tribe Through Darkness Comes Shining
When all is covered with dark lies thick like debris from fallen tower...Expand for more
s
my people pick up hearts
When all that is shown is tinted with black greed and stained with blood from false wars my people wipe away tears
My people are reapers of the waste of humankind,willing to take anything tossed aside and build with it a temple
My people see in every scrap a glimmer of the miracle of creation to be brought forth through their hands.
Bring it on then, I say, let it all fall down into our laps, into our receiving hands,
We'll make a new world out of anything you give us.
~Carol Bridges~
from The Peace Abbey, Sherborn MA
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving â it doesn't matter,
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,
Come, come again, come-- Jalaluddin Rumi (who found songs of joy... in despair)
Dalai Lama
"My true religion, my simple faith is in love and compassion. There is
no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma. Our own heart,
our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others
and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they
are - these are ultimately all we need."
â"Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."
~ Lao Tzu".
