"God, You’ve given me
the
physical, emotional
and spiritual will
to overcome so many obstacles
that
have risen before me.
How many times have I faced
what I perceived to be
impossible, hopeless situations
and withstood them—
and discovered creative
solutions
through which to surmount
and master them.
You’ve strengthened me
again and again.
I know that You
will never fail me."
-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?
