Sunday Inspiration: Play
Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.
—Kay Redfield Jamison
Sunday Inspiration: A Revolution of Love
Peacemaking doesn’t mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free.
—Shane Claiborne
Sunday Inspiration: To Be of Value
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
—Albert Einstein
Sunday Inspiration: Friends
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
—Alice Walker
Sunday Inspiration: A Great Teacher
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist…. It might even be the greatest of the arts, since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
—John Steinbeck
Sunday Inspiration: Only by Love
The world is violent and mercurial – it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love—love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent, being a writer, being a painter, being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.
—Tennessee Williams
Sunday Inspiration: Life Is like a Garden
Life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.
—Leonard Nimoy
Sunday Inspiration: The First Definition of Love
The first definition of love is to be there. This is a practice. How can you love if you are not there? In order to love you have to be there, body and mind united. A true lover knows that the practice of mindfulness is the foundation of true love.
—Thich Nhat Hanh
Sunday Inspiration: Peace
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
—Eleanor Roosevelt
Sunday Inspiration: Humility
Humility is the only thing that no devil can imitate.
—Saint John Climacus
