God calls us to transform
our corner of God's world
to cultivate it into a terrain
of justice and peace.
Too many live in parts of the world
where fear and violence,
hunger and death,
war and nuclear threats
are their daily food.
Distress, want, deprivation
rape, stealing away
all that is precious
to a human being....
Cruelty reign in our world.
What shall I do?
I shall transform my corner
of God's world and cultivate
it into a terrain of justice and peace.
it can be daunting to hear of all the needs in the world and wonder where to direct our energies. as you point out here, tony, we should certainly begin in our own orbits. and certainly there is a ripple effect, an idea contained in my poems the our and us in the lord's prayer and message from beside a sphinx. -glen
