It Is A Little Bit Humiliating When

Our Work For Peace Must Begin Within The Private World Of Each Of Us. To Build For Man A World Without Fear, We Must Be Without Fear. To Build A World Of Justice, We Must Be Just.

Your Cravings As A Human Animal Do Not Become A Prayer Just Because It Is God Whom You Ask To Attend To Them.

Be Grateful As Your Deeds Become Less And Less Associated With Your Name, As Your Feet Ever More Lightly Tread The Earth.

I Don't Know Who, Or What, Put The Question, I Don't Know When It Was Put. I Don't Even Remember Answering. But At Some Moment I Did Answer Yes To Someone, Or Something,and From That Hour I Was Certain That Existence Is Meaningful And That, Therefore, My Life, In Self-surrender, Had A Goal.

You Wake From Dreams Of Doom And--for A Moment--you Know: Beyond All The Noise And The Gestures, The Only Real Thing, Love's Calm Unwavering Flame In The Half-light Of An Early Dawn.
