What Is the Future We Are Creating?
The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination.
– John Schaar
Wednesday of Hope – Wendell Berry’s Wisdom
When despair for the world grows in me,
And I wake in the night in fear . . .
I go and lie down where the wood drake
Rests in beauty on the water,
And the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
Who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day blind stars waiting with their light.
I rest in the grace of the world and am free.
– Wendell Berry
Where Do You Tell Your Secrets?
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.
– Jalaluddin Rumi
Wednesday of Hope – Go Forward with Hope
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
– Jesse Jackson
Beauty is a Deep Opening
When we come upon beautiful things, they act like small tears in the surface of the world that pull us through to some vaster space.
– Elaine Scary
