It is my belief that the only power which can resist the power of fear is the power of love.

It is not "forgive and forget" as if nothing wrong had ever happened, but "forgive and go forward," building on the mistakes of the past and the energy generated by reconciliation to create a new future.

But the one thing that has power completely is love, because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.

There is a man sleeping in the grass. And over him is gathering the greatest storm of all his days. Such lightening and thunder will come there has never been seen before, bringing death and destruction. People hurry home past him, to places safe from danger. And whether they do not see him there in the grass, or whether they fear to halt even a moment, but they do not wake him, they let him be.

Now God be thanked that the name of a hill is such music, that the name of a river can heal.

because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass that will not lie.

The truth is, our civilization is not Christian; it is a tragic compound of great ideal and fearful practice, of loving charity and fearful clutching of possessions.
