A nice surprise brightening my walk yesterday. The brilliant yellow hails, “Don’t despair. Spring is arriving.”

A group of some 19 Buddhist monks on a Walk for Peace from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C. are spending the night in Opelika. We joined hundreds welcoming them tonight — likely thousands so far along their journey. Their walk, an act of mindfulness, seeks to bring compassion and unity to a world divided.

At every moment in every person’s life there is work to be done, always work to be done, some of it small, some of it Great. The Great Work, in a sense, always has to do with healing the world, changing the world, and, as a necessary predicate to that, understanding the world. You rise every morning aware that you are called to this work. You won’t live to see it finished. But if you can’t hear it calling, you aren’t listening hard enough. It’s always calling, sometimes in a big voice, sometimes in a quiet voice. — Tony Kushner, American playwright
