IN MEMORIAM
9/11/2001


Precious human life, gained but once
Has great potential but is easily lost....
For spirit quivers in flesh like a bubble in water.
Tsongkhapa (Tibet, 1357-1419)

And even if [your enemy] does suffer as you had wished,
What is there for you to be joyful about?
If you say, "For I shall be satisfied,"
How could there be anything more wretched than that?
Shantideva (India, c. 7th century AD)

It is true that sin is the cause of all this pain,
but all shall be well;
and all shall be well;
and all manner of thing shall be well.
Julian of Norwich (1373)
