What Can We Do About the Violence?

What Can We Do About the Violence?

~ by Lawrence “Mack” Hall

They may break our bodies…but they need not dominate our minds.

 -C. S. Lewis

 

Every book we read to a little child

Every kindness we work for another soul

Every bowl we fill while serving the poor

Every prayer whispered, spoken, or dreamed

 

Every cup of coffee shared with a pal

Every wheezy old joke about Pat and Mike

(Or, to be fair, about Trevor and Neville)

Every small joy sung to the universe

 

Is a beginning
