Hi Jenny! I'm so happy to be your friend ... here and in real life. I really enjoy our time together when I get to see you. I'd like to learn more from you and Mary about how to suggest our library display to the Port Hueneme library. I'm so happy to be spending time with such smart, like-minded people. After last night's film, I feel more hopeful for peace and understanding in the world. I know we have a way to go, but I'm glad to be on your team.
Jenny, Thanks for the comment with the kind words about our book Reverence for ALL Life. Albert Schweitzer's life and ethic of "reverence for life" has a way of grasping a person's life and then never letting go. As Schweitzer put it: "Even if the phrase reverence for life sounds so general as to seem somewhat lifeless, what is meant by it is nevertheless something which never let go of the man [person] into whose thought it has made its way. Sympathy, and love, and every kind of valuable enthusiasm are given within it. With restless living force reverence for life works upon the mind into which it has entered, and throws it into the unrest of a feeling of responsibility which at no place and at no time ceases to affect it."
