Somehow we must keep hope alive

a hope that can find a way to educate all

alleviate poverty,

assuage anger,

and live in harmony with the environment,

with animals,

and with each other.

~Jane Goodall

many hard days remind me of this gracious attention….

inquiry for today~ sense and feel this great world…..

the treasure of us together…

The challenge before us is this: to treasure

and preserve the independence given to us

and learn to integrate it

in an all-embracing interdependence.

~Brother David Steindl Rast
