Shenandoah Proverb

It is no longer good enough to cry peace

It is no longer good enough to cry peace—we must act peace, live peace, and live in peace.

Quote of the Day

I am being driven forward
Into an unknown lane.
The pass grows steeper,
The air colder and sharper.
A wind from my unknown goal
Stirs the strings of expectation.
Still the question:
Shall I ever get there?
There where life resounds,
A clear pure note
in the silence.

~ from MARKINGS by Dag Hammerskold
