My God,
You and only You know
how
strongly I want
to believe in You,
to put all my faith in You alone.
Help me
make this desire
a reality.
Help me perceive
Your Presence
and draw
strength from it
every moment of my life,
through every trial I face.
Let
that recognition bolster
my faith in You—
wherever I go,
whatever I do.
- Rebbe Nachman,The Gentle Weapon
“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe…. Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not. Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
