“I see that very clearly in my own state of Maine, where there are people who have been affected by mill closures, some of which have been brought about by poorly negotiated trade agreements, and they do feel marginalized and left behind.

Both parties need to do a better job of reaching out to those individuals, to those hardworking families, and providing job training, matching people and giving them new skills for new jobs.”

“I see that you believe in love such as the poets and romancers have represented... The poets represent love as the sculptors design beauty, as the musicians create melody; that is to say, endowed with an exquisite nervous organization, they gather up with discerning ardor the purest elements of life, the most beautiful lines of matter, and the most harmonious voices of nature.... To try to find in real life such love as this, eternal and absolute, is the same thing as to seek on the public squares such a woman as Venus or to expect nightingales to sing the symphonies of Beethoven.”

“I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.”
“I see the Christian world like this: we've inherited a divided map of the truth, and each of us has a piece. Our traditions teach us that no one else has a valid map and that our own church's piece shows us all the terrain and roads that exist. In fact, there is much more terrain, more roads, and more truth for us to see if we can accept and read one another's maps, fitting them together to give us a clearer picture of the larger Christian tradition.”

I see the Divine in the highways, and skyscrapers, in farmland and playgrounds.
But where is the Divine in the barren desert, in burned-down forests, and disaster-stricken towns?
The Divine is in the oasis, and the people there who give water and rest to desert travelers.
The Divine is in the firefighters’ tools, and the flowers that bloom from the ash.
The Divine is in relief trucks, bringing food and water and comfort.
The Divine rests in all things, but is no more awake than when we summon strength to do what is right.”
