When Martin Buber, the great Jewish philosopher and theologian, was asked “Where is God?” he was wise enough not to give the cliché answers: God is everywhere; God is found in churches and synagogues. Buber would answer that God is found in relationships. God is not found in people; God is found between people.

A single moment

Any life, no matter how long and complex it may be, is made up of a single moment — the moment in which a person finds out, once and for all, who they are. 

Jorge Luis Borges

"Let us honour the memory of those who died in Sharpeville and other racist incidents by redoubling our efforts to eradicate all forms of racism and racial discrimination. Let us translate good intentions into legal standards and the will to uphold them. Above all, let us cherish the rich diversity of humankind and respect the inherent dignity and equality of every human being."

The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon,
