" I have sworn
upon the altar of God,
eternal hostility
against every form
of tyranny
over the mind of man. "
upon the altar of God,
eternal hostility
against every form
of tyranny
over the mind of man. "
Thomas Jefferson
" Don't tell me
the moon is shining;
show me the glint
of light
on broken glass. "
Anton Chekhov
“ It seems to me
people tend to forget
that we are to love
our enemies,
not to satisfy
not to satisfy
some standard of righteousness
but because God
but because God
their Father
loves them. ”
Marilynne Robinson,
Gilead
" I want to be
with those who know
secret things
or else alone "
Rainer Maria Rilke
Sworn Eternal Enmity
Those things I hate
will be my enemies forever.
I will oppose and fight them,
being opposite in every way.
Rudeness I hate -
I will be kind.
Grasping is evil -
I will joyfully share.
Exclusion offends -
I will be warmly present
for all others,
not hurrying away.
Blame is corrosive -
I will forgive myself
and others;
Trusting to the altar
or ambiguity
that which I
do not understand;
Tomorrow,
the next hour,
are promised to none -
I will live in gratitude
