Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

– Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail

(the famous line that precedes this: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.“)

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

– Mother Teresa

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.

– Ranier Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

We’re all just walking each other home.

– Ram Dass

Traveler, there is no path.
The path is made by walking.

Traveller, the path is your tracks
And nothing more.
Traveller, there is no path
The path is made by walking.
By walking you make a path
And turning, you look back
At a way you will never tread again
Traveller, there is no road
Only wakes in the sea.

–Antonio Machado

Barn’s burnt down–
now
I can see the moon.

– Mizuta Masahide

We are here.
