Words to live by
Mahatma Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world."
'Mother Erin'
Two divine persons in one. A mother lamenting her children in bondage. A girl ravished by the Saxon, who weeps over her stringless harp. But her young champions keep watch in the mountains, awaiting the dawn of the bright sun of Freedom. They will gather around her with pikes and swords.
~James Plunkett~
STRUMPET CITY
from 'The Stolen Child'
Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

~William Butler Yeats~
