to live like this...

"So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it."

-Wendell Berry's Mad Farmer
(in his poem "Manifesto: The Mad
Farmer Liberation Front")


"Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are
appointed to die.
Open your mouth, judge
righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy."

-Proverbs 31:8-9


"Pure and undefiled religion before
God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their trouble,
and to keep oneself unspotted from
the world."

-James 1:27
