To stay human

A.J Muste stood outside the white house with a single white candle every day during the Vietnam war.

A reporter came to him and asked ‘Sir, do you really think this will change anything?’

He said: “Oh I don’t come here to change them. I come here so they don’t change me. I will not allow the steady maddening onslaught of insanity to wear down my humanity.

I will keep knowing the truth and telling the truth. I will do my small part every day to stay human, to stay awake and tender so that the world does not weigh down my humanity.”

By the candlelight,
