Grandfather, Great Spirit, all over the world the faces of living ones are alike… Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives to all that live.
– Native American, Sioux prayer

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.
– Martin Luther King Jr, letter from Birmingham City Jail, 12 April 1963

Ye observe how the world is divided against itself, how many a land is red with blood and its very dust is caked with human gore. The fires of conflict have blazed so high that never in early times, not in the Middle Ages, not in recent centuries hath there ever been such a hideous war, a war that is even as millstones, taking for grain the skulls of men. Nay, even worse, for flourishing countries have been reduced to rubble, cities have been levelled with the ground, and many a once prosperous village hath been turned into ruin. Fathers have lost their sons, and sons their fathers. Mothers have wept away their hearts over dead children. Children have been orphaned, women left to wander, vagrants without a home.
From every aspect, humankind hath sunken low. Loud are the piercing cries of fatherless children; loud the mothers’ anguished voices, reaching to the skies. And the breeding-ground of all these tragedies is prejudice: prejudice of race and nation, of religion, of political opinion; and the root cause of prejudice is blind imitation of the past – imitation in religion, in racial attitudes, in national bias, in politics. So long as this aping of the past persisteth, just so long will the foundations of the social order be blown to the four winds, just so long will humanity be continually exposed to direct peril.
– `Abdu’l-Bahá, from the Bahá’í Writings

We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth as brothers.
– Dr Martin Luther King (1967)

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from
other lands, but a continent that joins to them.
– Francis Bacon

I urge you
To trudge not through life leaving ugly gashes,
To tiptoe not through life leaving half formed impressions,
But, to tread gently, lovingly and purposefully,
leaving graceful heart prints.
– Unity Dow, High court Judge, Botswana

Let all your striving be for this, to become the source of life and immortality, and peace and comfort and joy, to every human soul, whether one known to you or a stranger, one opposed to you or on your side. Look ye not upon the purity or impurity of his nature: look ye upon the all-embracing mercy of the Lord, the light of Whose grace hath embosomed the whole earth and all who dwell thereon, and in the plenitude of Whose bounty are immersed both the wise and the ignorant. Stranger and friend alike are seated at the table of His favour. Even as the believer, the denier who turneth away from God doth at the same time cup his hands and drink from the sea of His bestowals.
– Báhá'u'lláh, Bahá'í Writings

O Son of Man!
Veiled in My immemorial being and in the ancient eternity
of My essence, I knew My love for thee; therefore I created
thee, have engraved on thee Mine image and revealed to
thee My beauty.
– The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time of his life. That really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me”
The Lord replied, “My son, My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
– Native American Tradition

What is to be done, O Moslems? For I do not recognize myself.
I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Moslem.
I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor of the sea;
I am not of Nature’s mint, nor of the circling’ heaven.
I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire;
I am not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity.
I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Bulgaria, nor of Saqsin
I am not of the kingdom of ‘Iraqian, nor of the country of Khorasan
I am not of this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell
I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan.
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless;
‘Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward;
I know none other except ‘Ya Hu’and ‘Ya man Hu...’
I am intoxicated with Love’s cup, the two worlds have passed out of my ken…
If once in my life I spent a moment without thee,
From that time and from that hour I repent of my life.
If once in this world I win a moment with thee,
I will trample on both worlds, I will dance in triumph for ever…
– Rumi, 13th C Persian poet

To live in the moment, each day as it comes, requires a discipline and a cleanliness: its not quite giving up hope, but hope becomes an extension, merely, of the day’s awareness, not something set apart like a bank account or accumulation of pledges falling due.
God speaks from the whirlwind: “Count on nothing at all except that I will love and try you hard and bring all things to an end, including you as you have known yourself all these days past. Your root is in me, child, and the root is here always, and I am here at the golden heart of each frail moment passing – always new.
It’s death to cling to me, but life to find me.”
– Frederick Morgan
