Last night I went to an awards dinner for the Thomas Merton Center. The main award recipient was Malik Rahim, a community organizer from New Orleans. The stories he had to tell were horrific, but the speech overall was empowering. Mostly he stressed getting involved in social justice work where you are.
...he imagined substituting for all the clocks of Europe a more honest machine, a finely threaded spiral of three dimensions, that would signify not only the coming and going of day and night, but that no single day and no single night would ever return. -- Mark Helprin
