Dr Harvey Zarren's inspirations

Know that now a torch has been passed, turning away from fear and into hope, turning away from coercion and into invitation, turning away from insulation and into brotherhood,  and turning away from the oppression of privilege and into the responsibility and possibility of humankind.

The question is raised and the challenge has been offered: can we, each of us, starting within ourselves and then in all our relationships and all our positions, can we carry that vision forward with courage and curiosity, persistence and humility, love and the conviction of all possibilities?

Let's continue working at the new vision with all the capabilities and all the energy that we possess and of which we can conceive.

"Sometimes, when the sky is obscured for many weeks with deep layers of clouds, we might come to believe that only the clouds exist.  Yet if we could find a way to fly above the clouds, we would experience the vastness of the sky and the sun's brilliant radiance.  In the same way, no matter how dense the clouds of our emotional confusion, the all-embracing radiant expanse of our true nature is always there, forming the backdrop of our existence."

Christine Londaker, author of Facing Death and Finding Hope
