Fire in Our Hearts | March 22, 2015
In war, one has to write or speak
about war, but one has to write or speak about beauty, too. When to do
which? No one knows, I think. Perhaps you know only each morning upon
awakening. We must have courage, we must have fire, we must have energy.
There is a war and all hearts are tempted to grow numb, to withdraw and
tuck in as if about to roost for the long night. We must not allow this
to happen. We must burn, we must travel on, with morning’s fire in our
hearts and beauty everywhere we turn, amidst a great burning.
- Rick Bass, "Answering the Call"
