"But let justice flow like water,
and righteousness, like an unfailing stream"
(Amos 5:26)
Happy New Year
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gently into the night. And He led me toward the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East.
