~ Ideas 1399 ~    10 to 11 May 1998

A reader from England whose father died in Auschwitz, wrote to me proposing that the United Nations institute an International Day of Repentance and Atonement, "as an annual event to be kept as a holy day by every nation to become united in the spiritual task of facing and teaching its children the truth about their history – the sins of the fathers – so that they may be fully understood by future generations. 

All our misdeeds economic, cultural, military, and those done in the names of religion should be truthfully shown, illustrated and explained in exhibitions in every town and country.  The need for atonement and restitution should be made clear."

I fully support that proposal.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
Look at life and Creation through clear and not dark glasses.  Light and cleanliness are the best qualities of the picture of life.  Be a great life-watcher.  It is as important, even more important than to be a bird-watcher and feeder.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest.
Let this day's performance of the meanest duty be thy religion.

Are the stars too distant,
pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet,
and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller
