Who seeks, who knocks
What's found
Precious only as felt.

"Humankind has not woven ...."
Humankind has not woven the web of
life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to
ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

"Towards a True Kinship of Faiths"
“… there is also the option to see the contrasting views –
one’s own and the other’s – in relation to the differing mental dispositions
and aspirations that make up the wonderful diversity of the human family. In essence, what is required is the ability
to recognize the truth in the interconnectedness of all things, even in our
disagreements. This issue is not
necessarily to see or go into all the intricate details of these connections;
it is rather, to acknowledge the big picture, to see any given event within
that larger vision. So the process
entails both returning to the basic simplicity of our shared human nature and
looking out with the widest possible perspective. The shift of perspective alone can open the
door of our hearts.”

"For once you have tasted flight ...."
For once you have tasted
flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you
have been and there you will long to return.

Think every morning when the sun peeps through
“Think
every morning when the sun peeps through
The
dim, leaf-latticed windows of the grove
How
jubilant the happy birds renew
Their
old melodious madrigals of love!
And
when you think of this, remember too,
‘Tis
always morning somewhere, and above
The
wakening continents; from shore to shore,
Somewhere
the birds are singing evermore.”
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
