Merry Christmas, dearest friends to you and your families! May the love that is celebrated today be manifest in our hearts and lives. May we be the hands, the feet, the voice and the heart of love for a world thirsty for love, healing, and peace ~j 
“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

where there is darkness
shine your light

when there is falsehood
be a witness for truth

where there is aggression
move in peace

but move, you must
and speak aloud so all can hear

may your light shine forth
into every darkened corner
of this place

we call home

silence isn’t an option…

The law of love governs the world. Life persists in the face of death. The universe continues in spite of destruction going on. Truth triumphs over untruth. Love conquers hate.~ Mahatma Gandhi
I believe this to be true. 

But I also believe love and life itself call on us to engage and perhaps even depend on our participation.

Nothing, No Thing, can be taken for granted. 

There are times when silence just isn’t an option. 

Speak and act in solidarity. With nonaggression, with nonviolence, yes. But also with inexhaustible, fierce, formidable compassion and commitment to justice and equality.

Can we hear the cries of the world?

Are we willing to answer?

a reminder of who we are and what we stand for…~j
Inscription on the Statue of Liberty
Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
