“They reminisced about the war. Cecile told of farmers she knew, neighbors who kept to themselves and sold produce to the Germans, even as they sheltered a family of seven Jews in a root cellar below their barn. At war's end, the family was accused of being collaborators but the testimony of the Jews made them heroes instead. The family said they had lived in the cellar for two-and-a-half years and had never missed a meal. They were fed richly, given wine, eggs and fresh vegetables. They also claimed to have heard the farmer's voice only three times in all those years. When the village mayor sought to decorate him, the farmer refused to be either honored or thanked. He did not change his silent ways and quietly returned to growing artichokes and spinach.”

“We will know many defeats and feel pain like we feel air but just like the air we breathe, pain is a breather to move us forward. We will encounter many defeats as we journey through our lives. The outcome of each are unknown, the future to which we cannot know. But must we give up? Must we stay mute? Must we bury ourselves in the silence of the defeat? Must we dine with failure and make love to fear? Must we sleep on the altar of sorrow? Must we sleep long enough to forget who we are? No. We must learn by paying attention to the river, that never stops flowing even when surrounded by rocks. To the waves of the ocean that never stops rising even when it’s bound to crash at the shores. We will encounter many defeats and must learn over and over again that courage is the only way to stand and win at life.”
