blessed are the peacemakers

Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat; 
The calf and the young lion shall browse together, 
with a little child to guide them.
The cow and the bear shall graze, 
together their young shall lie down; 
the lion shall eat hay like the ox. 
The baby shall play by the viper’s den, 
and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.
They shall not harm or destroy on all my holy mountain; 
for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD,
as water covers the sea. 
Isaiah 11: 6-9


"I have tried to stand between these two forces, saying that we need emulate neither the “do nothingism” of the complacent nor the hatred and despair of the black nationalist. For there is the more excellent way of love and nonviolent protest." 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
