“The universe is incredibly vast and mysterious. It will take hundreds of generations to fathom its workings. Each answer will generate thousands of questions. We are the microbes of the universe looking out from our drop of existence trying to grasp the enormity of what surrounds us.”
― Michael J. Marcel, Sr.

“Our Creator has fashioned for us a world that is beautiful. Moments and miracles that take your breath away surround us every second of every day. Opportunities to love and enrich your spirit are the signature of a loving God that extends His ever-evolving creation beyond its beginning.”

“We can’t let these people take our country away from us.” It has been said.
“...these people"...? Let that sink in for a minute. I am one of those "these people".
The use of "these people" is exclusionary and does contribute to an "us versus them" mentality.
I think that the title we give ourselves "human race" is appropriate, however, I think that we are not judged by who finishes first, but how many can we bring with us to the finish line. This is a collective journey, not judged by individual speed or entitlements. The importance of unity, cooperation, and supporting one another is our shared task in this journey of life and the means are judged to produce the end. All things we do on this journey matter.”
― Michael J. Marcel, Sr.

“All war is a tragedy and the scourge of humankind. In spite of all the history of death and destruction that precedes us, we still are unable to walk the path of peace and not kill each other. Military equipment manufacturers and the industrial complex as a whole are the world's largest industries.

As the phrase in the song cries out ".. when will they learn, when will they ever learn..'

In the season of Peace, we find ourselves stumbling dessert in a desert of hostility and strife.”
― Michael J. Marcel, Sr.
