It's Godlike to love man - even in his sin - merely because he's man.

An individual can march for peace or vote for peace and can have, perhaps, some small influence on global concerns. But the same individual is a giant in the eyes of a child at home. If peace is to be built, it must start with the individual. It is built brick by brick.

An act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself of some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all.

Voluntary poverty isn't going around with some burlap bag around you and imitating the poor. It means being indifferent to the material, doing as Christ said. He went and sat down with the rich and Zachaeus and publicans and sinners.

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.

People, wherever they are, can make a community.
