Zen
“ ‘There is really nothing you must be.
There is really nothing you must do.
There is really nothing you must have.
And there is really nothing you must know.
There is really nothing you must become.
However. It helps to understand that fire burns,
And when it rains, the earth gets wet…’
Whatever, there are consequences. Nobody is exempt.”
-It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Through the Years
A groundbreaking litigator for women’s rights before being appointed to the bench, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has worn many aspects in her eighty-five years. On the Justice’s birthday, flip through some photographs of her as a girl in Brooklyn, as a law graduate who left Columbia as co-valedictorian (but with no job offers), as a young mother, and as an advocate whose greatest legacy may be in the cases that she argued before what was then an all-male Supreme Court—and won. (Photographs from the collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.)

The Art of Loving
“To love somebody is not just a strong feeling- it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go.”
-Erich Fromm

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone- we find it with another.

Loving into Life and Death
“You have to trust that every friendship has no end, that a communion of saints exists among all those, living and dead, who have truly loved God and one another. You know from experience how real this is. Those you have loved deeply and who have died live on in you, not just as memories but as real presences.”
-Henri Nouwen
