For an ideal

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Robert F. Kennedy
Capetown, June 6th 1966

Religion and Politics

“I could not live for a single second without religion. Many of my political friends despair of me because they say that even my politics are derived from religion. And they are right. My politics and all other activities of a person of religion must be derived from their religion, because religion means being bound to God, that is to say, God rules my every breath.” Gandhi, March 1934

A pearl has become a metaphor

A pearl is small
A pearl is ageless
A pearl has value
A pearl is iridescence
A pearl has no edges
A pearl has many shapes
A pearl can be easily lost
A pearl began in darkness
A pearl has different colors
A pearl has understated colors
A pearl expresses compactness and unity
A pearl comes from the depths of the ocean
If a thought is a pearl then the heart is involved
If a thought is logic then the head is in involved
A pearl like wisdom takes us to uncharted territory
A pearl convenes a core truth – we see In its clarity
