week 17, post 2: A prophetic voice

I wanted to share with y'all a quote from one of our most insightful prophets: farmer/poet Wendell Berry:

"Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy."

I pray that as I offer myself as an instrument of peace in this place, all of us will similarly commit ourselves to live under the self-imposed laws of justice and mercy wherever we are privileged to serve. And remember: all knowing is subjective.
