Brightly-covered journals on a dark background. One open page says: be kind, be happy, be brave. Caption: What you are will show, ultimately. Start now, every day, becoming, in your actions, your regular actions, what you would like to become in the bigger scheme of things. ~Anna Deavere Smith

Four women are sitting on a beach looking out at the lake at sunset. Each is holding up a hand with a partner to form hearts that are silhouetted against the golden sky. Caption: We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. ~Amanda Gorman

Thursday Thought #ElieWiesel

LC March 17, 2022 Thursday Thought

We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must--at that moment--become the center of the universe. ~Elie Wiesel

Thursday Thought #Walter Cronkite

LC March 10, 2022 Thursday Thought

A black and white photo of a city street reduced to rubble because of war. Caption: War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It's hardly a civilized pursuit. It's amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace. ~Walter Cronkite

Thursday Thought #UrsulaKLeGuin

LC March 3, 2022 Thursday Thought

Three lit taper candles against a dark background. Caption: When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow. ~Ursula K. LeGuin

A dark blue sky reflects into a lake by the light of the moon. The silhouette of a heron can be seen in the band of moonlight. Caption: You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy. ~Jane Marczewski (Nightbirde)

Thursday Thought #SarahRaySchwarcz
