To those of our bodies given without pity to be burned, I know there is no answer but loving one another, even our enemies, and this is hard. But remember: when a man of war becomes a man of peace, he gives a light, divine though it is also human. When a man of peace is killed by a man of war, he gives a light. You do not have to walk in darkness. If you will have the courage for love, you may walk in light. =20 It will be the light of those who have suffered for peace. It will be your light. >From the book "A TIMBERED CHOIR The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997" Copyright 1998 by Wendell Berry ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C13D98.6BD30780 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Now you know the worst<BR>we humans = have to=20 know<BR>about ourselves, and I am sorry,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>for I know that you will be = afraid.<BR>To those of=20 our bodies given<BR>without pity to be burned, I know</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>there is no answer<BR>but loving one=20 another,<BR>even our enemies, and this is hard.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>But remember:<BR>when a man of war = becomes a man of=20 peace,<BR>he gives a light, divine</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>though it is also human.<BR>When a man = of peace is=20 killed<BR>by a man of war, he gives a light.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>You do not have to walk in = darkness.<BR>If you will=20 have the courage for love,<BR>you may walk in light. </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>It will be the light of those who have=20 suffered<BR>for peace.
