Lead me home to your waters where comfort waits for me Take my soul, forgiving Father And cradle the hearts of those who grieve Wipe away the anger and hatred from the world we once knew May your peace of heart Be a blanket May our lives begin anew. Hearts that have been broken Lives that have been torn What can never be forgotten Is now a legacy we face this morn The madness of a moment Can never be erased And the devastation that remains Is shadowed with disgrace Please hold your children as we pray for tomorrow We are all as one As we struggle in a world encased in sorrow ↗

If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate. ↗

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded. ↗

— Bessie Anderson Stanley

To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget. ↗

— Arundhati Roy
