Words for the day
Blessed be the ones who dance in the
corridors of death,
Who sing in the hallways of terror,
Who laugh in the prisons of fear,
Who shout across the silencing walls,
Who love beyond the borders of hatred,
Who live to welcome home freedom,
Who die never turning their heads,
Who return as the rising of hope.
-- Mary Etta King, Mennonite denominational minister
