find a way to educate people about living justly

transition capitalism to economic democracy, end private ownership of the means of production, create worker owned cooperatives that continue to foster individual innovation, make trade fair, cancel debt

build community instead of the myth of rugged individualism

reduce consumption and establish sustainable environmental practices to live in harmony with the earth

foster common understanding of spirituality as intrinsic to human life and religion as the language we use to express and discuss our spirituality

replace war with nonviolence and true peace

Jesus, Oscar Romero, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen,
MLK Jr, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, the guys of Dispatch...

Light to Dawn
Doe from Fawn
Changing, Migrating
Living and growing,
each day that passes
is a gift. Capture the essence,
the beauty, the lift. We can absorb the
essence of the meaning of God. We can't
get stuck in the superficial facade. There's more to
life than money and wealth, explore the beauty of creation and
pray for good health.

I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a very foreign language.
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually,
without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer. -- Rainer Maria Rilke

"I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." --Franklin D. Roosevelt

"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong." -- Leo Rosten

"All we have to do is close our eyes and then open them. I mean, close our eyes to our culture and open them to our friends. We've got enough to go on. We don't have a right to the luxury of despair." -- Dan Berrigan

Hope is to believe in the adventure of love; to bet on fellow human beings; to leap into the dark, trusting in God. -- Dom Helder Camara

Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing.
-- Socrates
