Character

Crucifixion 2a, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


     The real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has
     invented for himself, but how well he plays the role that destiny
     assigned him.

To live

Community 2, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the times comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Mary Oliver, In Blackwater Woods

Hunger for Bread & Justice

O God, to those who have hunger give bread,
And to us who have bread give the hunger for justice.

Prayer from Latin America

It's not the colour of a nation that holds a nation's pride.
It's imagination.
It's imagination inside.
