A New Year Prayer

"I hope for more time with my grandson, for a new appreciation in the land for caregivers, and for a sudden epidemic of common sense among the politicians, pundits and talk show hosts who shape the national debate, So that we might find some practical ways together to cope with poverty, crime, 'jobless prosperity,' and the fear of strangers."  -Bill Moyers 1994

You Shall Love

A troubled woman came to see the Indian sage, Ramakrishna.  She said, "O master.  I do not find that I love God." And he asked her, "Is there nothing then that you love?" To this she replied, "My little nephew." And he said to her, "There is your love and service to God in your love and service to that child." - Bill Moyers Take heart, in your love there is God.

Circles

  “When we pitch camp, we pitch camp in a circle.  When the eagle builds a nest, the nest is in a circle.  When we look at the horizon, the horizon is in a circle,” once said an Indian chief cited by Bill Moyers in The Power of Myth. In the final analysis, isn't all life circular?
