A voice of wisdom as we struggle to find our own best way of responding to the multiple needs and challenges before us:

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs;

Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

-Howard Thurman

Howard Thurman was an African-American philosopher, theologian, and educator. He served as dean of Marsh Chapel at Boston University from 1953-1965, where he was a mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr. His theology of nonviolence influenced a generation of civil rights activists.
