" Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect. "
......Chief Seattle
" No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friend's
or of thine own were.
Any man's death diminishes me
because I am involved with mankind,
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee. "
John Donne, Meditation XVII
please carry the
torch for peace!
ABOU BEN ADHEM
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
An angel writing in a book of gold. 
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?"---The vision raised its head
And, with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered , "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still, and said, "I pray then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow men."
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great awakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.
