Love begins
Love begins with paying attention to others, with an act of gracious self forgetting. This is the condition in which we grow.

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.â€
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
