Drawn while thinking about how to respond to a couple questions in my inbox about my writing process.
“My mind, through the power of Truth, was in a good degree weaned from the desire of outward greatness, and I was learning to be content with real conveniences that were not costly; so that a way of life free from much entanglements appeared best for me, though the income was small… I saw that a humble man with the blessing of the Lord, might live on a little; and that where the heart was set on greatness success in business did not satisfy the craving; but that commonly with an increase of wealth, the desire for wealth increased.”
~ John Woolman
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the Kings and Princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks
The real work of Christmas begins.
To find the lost
To heal the broken
To feed the hungry
To release the prisoners
To rebuild the nations
To bring peace among brothers
To make music in the heart.
Bayard Rustin
Today is the 100th Anniversary of Bayard Rustin’s birth. I was unaware of Mr. Rustin until the good man Marcus posted this article about him yesterday on Facebook. Rustin was pivotal in the formation of nonviolent social movements that followed World War II and became a staple in the Civil Rights Movement. His efforts paved the way for activists such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. I was a bit upset with myself for not knowing of such an important figure, but I’m happy to now know more about him. Mr. Rustin, thank you for your service.
