Take a moment to make a list of your closet friends. What do they have in common (other than the joy of knowing you)? It is likely that most are similar to you in age and the same gender and race as you. There will be exceptions, of course. However, similarity on these three dimensions is the general rule for friendships. Ninety percent of all people in Western society marry at some point. What, beyond attraction, determines how people pair up? The answer is that we tend to marry someone who is like us in almost every way, a pattern called homogamy. In case you are wondering, homogamy also applies to unmarried couples who are living together. Studies show that married and cohabiting couples are highly similar in age, education, race, religion, and ethnic background. In general, you are far more likely to choose someone similar to yourself as a mate than someone very different. This is probably a good thing. Personality traits tend to be closely matches in the most stable marriages. Conversely, this risk of divorce is highest among couples with sizable differences in age and education. Most dangerous of all are “fatal attractions,” in which qualities that originally made a partner appealing are later disliked. Fatal attractions are likely when an individual is drawn to someone who seems “different,” “unique,” or “extreme.” When two people are similar, disenchantment is less likely to occur. Do people look for specific traits in a potential mate? Yes, in the United States of America, both men and women agree that the most important qualities are kindness and understanding, intelligence, exciting personality, good health, adaptability, and physical attractiveness. #RandolphHarris 1 of 19

Love is a great thing, My monastic, monotheistic friend, altogether a great good. “It makes every burden light,” as Matthew has recorded My saying in his Gospel (11.30), and manages to carry every load, no matter how slip-sliding it may be. What is more, it makes every tart and bitter thing taste sweet and juicy. My love is noble and provides the energy for doing great things; it encourages the desiring of even greater things. Love wants to rise, does not want to be tied down. Love wants to walk free, not to be told where to go. However, sadly, it loses its sense of direction. That is to say, it cannot sustain anything in time of consolation; it succumbs in time of desolation. There is nothing sweeter than Love; nothing stronger, higher, broader, happier, fuller, better in Heaven and on Earth. That is because Love is born of God, as the Beloved John has written in his First Letter (4.7), and cannot rest except in God, who is above all created things. Some wonderful effects of Love. First, one who knows how to love runs and rejoices; one is a free human and has no restraints. Second, one gives everything and in return receives everything; in a manner of speaking, one may be said to have everything. That is because one rests in the Great One, who has everything and from whom every good fountain flows. Third, one does not look for gifts for oneself, but love turns one into the giver of all goods. Fourth, Love is not measured out in small packets; more often than not, it spills all over. Fifth, Love is not seen as a load, does not have a reputation as a chore; it is more in the area of motivation than in the exercise of strength. Sixth, Love does not rise out of impossibility; that is because it comes out of possibility and permission. #RandolphHarris 2 of 19

All things considered, whoever knows how to love has the strength for everything, fills to overflowing, causes every effect. The one who has not learned to love merely flops to the floor in heap. Some more effects of Love. Love stands the night watch, yet sleeps with one eye open. Exhausted, it nonetheless does not nod off. Shoved, it shoves back. Terrified, it does not pass the terror down the line, but like a flickering flame, a smoking torch, it flares up and burns brighter than before. If you know how to love, then you can make out the words of this riotous shout. It is a burning affection of the soul clamoring in the ears of the Lord, echoing the Song of Songs (2.16): “Mine? You are all mine! Yours? I am all Yours!” Speech can accomplish more than an organizing function, in that it reminds us of imagery which we can hold on to at need—it keeps reverberations alive. The very action of saying things has consequences of a steadying kind. Speech enables people to reassess what has happened to them, to reconsider past events in the light of later experience and even, at a very deep level, to reorganize their understanding of themselves and of their World. It can even help to change the very structure of the personality. Talking puts experience into words. Sometimes talking allows us to connect experiences with words for the first time. This means that, sometimes for the first time ever, we are able to “give an account” of those experiences—we are conscious of them for the first time. #RandolphHarris 3 of 19

Once the experiences are conscious, there are the experiences, and there is a narrator who is talking about them. Here we see a benign aspect of the process of depersonalizing and distancing. “I” am for the first time consciously distanced from what happened to me. I can get some perspective: “I then did this” or “Such and such happened to me next.” Moreover, the “I” and the “me” in these accounts have a curious status. There is continuity and identity: these experiences were not someone else’s but “mine” (the speaker’s), they belong to my self-regions. However, at the same time, the “I” who is doing the talking now is ten or twenty or more years older than “I” in the account. There is a distance between the self-structures-from-then and the self-structures-of-now, a gap of time. This allows for a new perspective and a new meaning. Meaning depends on context. I am not in a different context from then. If myself-structures today are more mature, more complex, with better ego-functions and capacities for respect and recognition, they may be able to hold and integrate the self-structures for then. Talking, and being understood, changes the nature of the connections between “I then” and “I now,” weakening them in some respects (“Because this happened to me twenty-four years ago, I need not be afraid of thunderstorms now”) and strengthening them in other respects (“I do not need to despise myself for having feared thunderstorms twenty-four years ago. I can stop despising myself and I can love myself.”) If I try to talk honestly to others about my past life, it comes up for review. The relation between my semantic self and my episodic self may also be challenged and changed when they confront one another. #RandolphHarris 4 of 19

Sympathetic listening, and the knowledge that what happened when I was little, weak, and ignorant cannot happen to me now, give me the strength to try and remember how it was with me then. Between us, we can hold “me then.” Held, I dare given an account of hitherto hidden parts of my self. I can integrate them. This is one reason why friends are so important for our well-being, and why people who for some reason have been unable to make friends or to keep them may find psychotherapeutic groups useful. Sometimes with professionals who help people suffer misfortune and it leads them into difficulties where friends cannot help. However, in more fortunate circumstances, our friends can do a god deal of our organizing and ego-functioning with and for us. They do so anyway in the normal course of life, as we pass the time of day with hem, gossip about others, or explore the meaning of the Universe. They let us talk and blow off steam. They are patient while we talk nonsense. They talk a load of rubbish themselves. They relax us when we get too desperately tense, and amuse us. However, more particularly, good friends strengthen and diversify our ego-functioning: they produce speculations, explanations, and suggestions of their own for us to consider, and much else. Thus the passage which follows may be read in terms of friends or in terms of ego-functioning or in terms of organizing processes. They help us toward increasing knowledge of our selves: they produce new ideas, and they surprise us by changing and developing and expecting us to welcome the changes. Though they may be tolerant they will not put up with our nonsense indefinitely without protest. They love us and accept us and warm us and make us feel worth while. They help us sand firm under pressure. #RandolphHarris 5 of 19

In times of crisis friends are especially important, sustaining us while we encounter and explore new things, encouraging us to carry on, holding us when we temporarily lose our footing in the stress of reorganizing our concepts. They take care of us and step in when, in the course of the temporary disorganization which new developments may bring, we are about to do something permanently detrimental to our interests. Some people are able to give sense and direction to their lives by commitment to a cause or a task. There are many who can put something non-personal into the center of their lives. I may have got no foundation for self-love from the love of others, but by being part of something admirable, I can make my life worthwhile. Some people who take this second chance will come to have a deep and rich identity, in terms of which they organize their lives. However, others will not integrate in this organized way, and yet feel held by a sense of purpose and coherence because they know what they are doing and that it is worth while. Such people present quite a range. At one end are those who are contained within an ordered social system such as traditional societies are said to afford, or religious orders or other ideologically committed groups; these will be exercising individual judgment only in narrowly restricted areas. At the other extreme are people in the fragmented societies with which most readers will be familiar. Yet even here, those of us who have no solid sense of who we are, independent of what we do, may find significance in what we are doing and feel held by it. Many creative people belong in this category. As one creation is accomplished, hey suffer a kind of “post-coital depression,” but this when the next project begins to define itself. At a less elevated level are many of us who can always cheer ourselves up by the accomplishment of small tasks well done: shoes shined, cakes baked, lawns mown, letters written. #RandolphHarris 6 of 19

What gives a person the sense of being well and “together”? There are many indications that if I am to have a deep, east, and steady sense of well-being and identity, I must not have had any experiences so bad that they have cut me off from my bodily self. If they have, I must make a new beginning. Secondly, I must have been experienced as a whole person to unconscious matter, but it is not mystical. It is neurological. Neurologically the infant forms a set of conceptual structures which are either closely interconnected or nor, depending on whether those who relate to the infant regard it as a baby or as a set of tasks requiring to be done. The baby who is regarded as a loud yell at one end and a bad smell at the other will carry that knowledge through life. Experiencing myself as loveable strengthens the basis for a sense of well-being and self-esteem yet further. This lovability must depend on having been valued for being myself rather than for anything I do. The value of something we cherish or that nourishes us must lie exactly in not being exciting and not having to work or be worked for. A poorly cathected self is one which has experienced relatively little love, relatively little respect for its manifestations, relatively little empathy; lacking feelings of value and power, there are no deep roots for later self-esteem to develop from. The baby who is recognized as a person from the start is able to use this experience of recognition as a validation of itself, and can let the consequent imagery of itself perform holding functions. This in turn creates the right conditions for further integrating processes. The changes that a long-established habit of walking on two feet could have brough about in the conformation of humans, the relations that are still observed between one’s arms and the forelegs of quadrupeds, and the induction drawn from their manner of walking, could have given rise to doubts about the manner that must have been the most natural to us. #RandolphHarris 7 of 19

All children begin by walking on all fours, and need our example and our lessons to learn to stand upright. There are even savage nations, such as Hottentots, who, greatly neglecting their children, allow them to walk on their hands for so long that they then have a great deal of trouble getting them to straighten up. The children of the Caribs of the Antilles do the same thing. There are various examples of quadruped men, and I could cite among others that of the child who was found in 1344 near Hesse, where he had been raised by wolves, and who said afterward at the court of Prince Henry that, had the decision been left exclusively to him, he would have preferred to return to the wolves than to live among men. He had embraced to such an extent the habit of walking like those animals, that wooden boards had to be attached to him to force him to stand upright and maintain his balance on two feet. It was the same with the child who was found in 1694, in the forests of Lithuania, and who lived among bears. He did not give rise, says M. de Condillac, any sign of reason, walked on his hands and feet, had no language, and formed sounds that bore no resemblance whatever to those of a man. The little savage of Hanover, who was brought to the court of England several years ago, had all sorts of trouble getting himself to walk on two feet. And in 1719, two other savages, who were found in the Pyrenees, ran about the mountains in the manner of quadrupeds. As for the objection one might make that this deprives one of the use of one’s hands from which we derive so many advantages, over and above the fact that the example of monkeys shows that the hand can be used quite well in both ways, this would prove only that man can give one’s limbs a destination more congenial than that of nature, and not that nature has destined man to walk otherwise than it teaches one. #RandolphHarris 8 of 19

However, there are, it seems to me, much better reasons to state in support of the claim that humans are bidped. First, if it were shown that they could have originally been formed otherwise than we see one and yet finally become what one is, this would not suffice to conclude that this is how it happened; for, after having shown the possibility of these changes, it would still be necessary, prior to granting them, t demonstrate at least their probability. Moreover, if humans’ arms seem as if they could have served as legs when needed, it is the sole observation favorable to that system, out of a great number of others which are contrary to it. The chief ones are that the manner in which humans’ head is attached to one’s body, instead of directing one’s view horizontally (as is the case for all other animals and for humans themselves when one walks upright), would have kept one, while walking on all fours, with one’s eyes fixed directly on the ground, a situation hardly conducive to the preservation of the individual; that the tail one is lacking, and for which one has no use when walking on two feet, is useful to quadrupeds, and none of them is deprived of one; that the breast of a woman, very well located for a biped who holds her child in her arms, is so poorly located for a quadruped that none has it located in that way; that, since the hind part is of an excessive height in proportion to the forelegs (which causes us to crawl on our knees when walking on all fours), the whole would have made an animal that was poorly proportioned and that walked comfortably; that if one has places one’s foot as well as one’s hand down flat, one would have had one less articulation in the hind leg than do other animals, namely the one that joins canon to the tibia; and that by setting down only the tip of the foot, as doubtlessly one would have been forced to do, the tarsus (not to mention the plurality of bones that make it up) appears too large to take the place of the canon, and its articulations with the metatarsus and the tibia too close together to give the human leg in this situation the same flexibility as those of quadrupeds. #RandolphHarris 9 of 19

Since the example of children is taken from an age when natural forces are not yet developed nor the members strengthened, it proves nothing whatever. I might just as well say that dogs are not destined to walk because several weeks after their birth they merely crawl. Particular facts also have little force against the universal practice of all humans; even nations that have had no communication with others could not have imitated anything about them. A child abandoned in a forest before one is able to walk, and nourished by some beast, will have followed the example of one’s nurse in training oneself to walk like the figure of dependence. Habit could have given one capabilities one did not have from nature and just as one-armed humans are successful, by dint of exercise, at doing with their feet whatever we do with our hands, one will finally have succeeded in using one’s hands as feet. Psychology receives much criticism, but it can be used to complement Christian faith. In celebrating the complementary relationships that exist between psychology and religion we must not, however, delude ourselves into thinking that there are no conflicts. As when we build a tunnel between two territories, it sometimes happens that the two ends of the tunnel simply do not connect. The two tunnels of psychology and religion may fail to connect because the two disciplines start off guided by different underlying values. The two fields may also fail to connect because they approach a subject with two utterly different conceptions of it. A case in point is the idea of giftedness. Consider the concept of giftedness as found in an older educational psychology and then in the New Testament. #RandolphHarris 10 of 19

A family down the block has one. So do several of our colleagues. One family we know has two of them. And each of these families knowns of other families who have one: a gifted child. All across America a great hunt is on to find more gifted children. A promotional letter from the Gifted Children Newsletter solicited subscriptions from parents who “have the sneaking suspicion your child is special in some way.” And how many are special? Dorothy Sisk, former director of the U.S. Office of Gifted and Talented, estimate that “approximately 3 to 5 percent of the school age-population could be considered gifted and talented.” The implication is that the other 95 percent are not gifted. And that explains why, despite the lobbying of the mostly European American, upper-middle-class parents of these children, most school districts find “there generally are not enough gifted children” in their town to justify special programs for their gifted children. Nevertheless, the psychology and education of a gifted few has become something approaching a social movement. Several national associations for the gifted have sprung up, as have journals and magazines. Nearly every state now as a coordinator of programs for the gifted. Virtually everyone agrees that the gifted-child movement will serve a valuable purpose if it pushes schools to treat children as individuals. Not every third-grader should be taking the same spelling test and working the same math problems. Better if we can find ways to individualize instructions so that no child is bored by work that is too easy or frustrated by tasks too hard. The challenge is to provide opportunities and rewards for individuals of every degree of ability so that students at every level will realize their full potentialities, perform at their best and harbor n resentment toward any other level. However, the problem with the gifted-child movement, says its critics, is that it does not affirm and stimulate individuals of every ability level and, worse, may provoke resentment or self-disparagement among those implicitly labeled “not gifted or talented.” #RandolphHarris 11 of 19

The gifted may get to visit computer centers, do special art and science projects, visit museums, and hear guest speakers, while the nongifted remain in their classrooms, wondering why they are excluded. Moreover, labels such as “gifted” and “not gifted” can be self-confirming. In experiments, teachers who are told that certain children fit such labels, or students who are led to feel competent or incompetent by receiving such labels, sometimes act in ways that make the label into a reality. In all the hoopla over giftedness, what most people miss is the arbitrariness of the concept. We forget that giftedness is only a concept, artificially defined by scores among the top 3 or 4 percent of some test of aptitude or intelligence. We begin to assume that giftedness really exists out there somewhere. We come to believe it is like a red hair: children either have it of they do not. Actually, giftedness is a decision made in the minds of those who use the word. Nothing is gifted until someone names it that. Nature has no clustered children into well-defined groups corresponding to our value-laden labels. We, not nature, decide what is a flower and what is a weed. To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, a weed is but a flower that someone decides does not belong in the garden. The arbitrariness of designating what is and what is not gifted becomes apparent when we try to agree on a practical definition. To the Yanomamo Indians of South America, giftedness is possession of the skills of a great hunter and warrior. To Suzuki violin teachers, it is musical talent. In middle-class America, one finds almost as many definitions of the term as articles on gifted children. #RandolphHarris 12 of 19

However, in order to pigeon-hold children as gifted or not gifted, we must somehow measure their giftedness. Thus we often reduce it to a score on a one-dimensional device that measures not artistic talent or leadership skill or physical prowess or any other gift that a particular child may have, but IQ score. Several other quite extraordinary advances are taking place in society and transforming the way we make things. As some industries move from mass to small batch production, others are already moving beyond that toward full customization on a continuous-flow basis. Instead of starting and stopping production at the beginning and end of each short run, they are advancing to the point at which the machines can continuously reset themselves, so that he units of output—each one different from the next—stream from the machines in an unbroken flow. In a nutshell, we are racing toward the machine customization on a round-the-clock, continuous basis. Another significant change, as we shall shortly see, brings the customer more directly than ever before into the manufacturing process. In some industries we are only a step removed from a situation in which a customer-company pipes its specifications directly into the manufacturer’s computers, which will in turn control the production lines. As this practice becomes widespread, the customer will become so integrated into the production process that we will find it more and more difficult to tell just who is actually the consumer and who the producer. #RandolphHarris 13 of 19

Finally, while Second Wave manufacture was Cartesian in the sense that products were broken into pieces, then painstakingly reassembled, Third Wave manufacture is post-Cartesian or “wholistic.” This is illustrated by what has happened to common manufactured products like the wristwatch. Whereas watches once had hundreds of moving parts, we are now able to make solid-state watches that are more accurate and reliable—with no moving parts at all. Similarly, today’s Panasonic TV set is more of a computer than TV made just ten years ago. They are thinner, more stylish, have higher quality digital signage and a much more vibrant and enhanced picture. As tiny microprocessors—those tiny miracle chips again—turn up in more and more products making them more efficient, better quality, and more enthralling. These new electronics certainly are gifted. And of course with technology, not only is everything becoming more stylish, devices are also becoming more compact and reliable. Computers have made it where watches can be used as telephones, lightweight laptops have replaced bulk desktops, and cameras can function perfectly underwater or catch moving objects clearly (as long as that is what they are designed for). By intervening at the molecular level, by using computer-assisted design or other advanced manufacturing tools, we integrate more and more functions into fewer and fewer parts, substituting “wholes” for many discrete components. What is occurring can be compared to the rise of computers in residential agriculture. Instead of simply setting a program or watering the yard by hand, new tools now allow your sprinkler system to analyze moisture content, types of vegetation, and the weather to decide how much water is needed and when. #RandolphHarris 14 of 19

There are even small robots that can weed your garden for you on a constant basis so one never sees a weed sprouting. We are also beginning to see this “presto effect” in construction and manufacturing. The question is with things becoming more automated, more expensive, and more efficient, will the human population respond by decreasing because they will not be as needed as in the past, and it would not be wise to have a population of people, who cannot afford to live, overcrowding our communities and sitting idle. The pattern becomes clear, therefore. Vast changes in the techno-sphere and the info-sphere have converged to change the way we make goods. We are moving rapidly beyond traditional mass production to a sophisticated mix of mass and de-massified products. The ultimate goal of this effort is now apparent: completely customized goods, made with wholistic, continuous-flow processes, increasingly under the direct control of the consumer. In brief, we are revolutionizing the deep structure of production, sending currents of change through every layer of society. However, this transformation, which will affect the student planning a career, the business planning an investment, or the nation planning a development strategy, cannot und understood in isolation. It must be seen in direct relationship to yet another revolution—this one in the office. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Artificial intelligence will raise humanity to the heights of power and immortality many have envisioned. Throughout the World, hundred of people are making a difference in their neighborhoods, their communities, and their country. #RandolphHarris 15 of 19

In the public service arena, God loving people are changing laws, shaping school curricula, working for peace, laboring against bad habits, and helping elect good men and women to public office—or running for office themselves. The alternative to the succession model in the suburbs is the parallel growth model. What this suggests is that suburbs show both European American growth, as well as growth of other races and/or cultures. This appears to have been the more common pattern for recent decades, with comparatively less racial turnover when compared to the patten in central cities. Even thirty to four years ago, when non-dominate culture groups rates of suburbanization were already exceeding European American rates, there was no major pattern of succession of suburbs from European American to non-European America. However, we have seen European Americans move totally out of some areas, and that is mostly due to an increase in wealth. They can afford other neighborhoods usually because they have seen growth in equity in their homes, they are more established in their careers, and have been left an inheritance. This is also because America is a country that allows immigration, so as new people move in, they tend to inhabit costal communities, which can cause them to become more populated and increase prices. However, costal communities are also where more business hubs are because back in the days when things traveled by ships, that is where they docked and most commerce took place. Many suburbs are not turning over racially because European Americans make up 60.1 percent of the population. So rapid displacement of European Americans is not occurring everywhere, but is starting to happen as our nation diversifies. #RandolphHarris 16 of 19

African Americans in the suburbs tend to have a higher income than those in central cities. In metropolitan areas with a population of at least a million, African American suburban families had an average income of $66.840.83. That is 55 percent higher than the average income of central-city African Americans in the same metropolitan areas. It is interesting, however, that not all non-Europeans are open to integration and diversity. In seeking that suburban dream, some middle-class non-European American families are deliberately forgoing the American dream of an integrated society. For instance, many Asian American moved to Greenhaven/Pocket in South Sacramento, which is an upper-middle class suburb. Serval African Americans moved to suburbs such as Rolling Oaks in the Miami area and Brook Glen and Wyndham Park outside Atlanta, which represents for many middle-class African Americas an affirmative decision to live in predominately African American suburbs. Race is still a core variable in American society, but class is more important than race in determining one’s neighbors. For much of the middle class, race is increasingly being supplanted by the social-class variables of income, education, and occupations. As we are well into the new century, the variables of social class are affecting housing decisions. While middle-class neighbors of any race are becoming increasingly acceptable, lower-class neighbors are not. People tend to want peace and quiet in their neighborhoods. They want to feel safe. They want their kids to be able to play in their backyards and they do not want their property vandalized or stolen. #RandolphHarris 17 of 19

Believe it or not, there are still some communities in America where people live their doors unlocked and their keys in their cars. And it is not because they are forgetful, but because their communities are just that safe and peaceful. Overall the pattern of housing in America is one of optimism and some discouragement. The 1968 Fair Housing Act has displaced most government or illegal segregation in America. Many European Americas accept open housing principal. Neighborhood or suburban racial changeover is no longer triggered by the presence of non-European America residents, but European Americans and others still exhibit reluctance to move into predominantly non-European American areas. The old racial segregation is largely becoming history, and because many people are driven by money and sales, racial steering by real estate agents and discrimination against non-European Americans by banks and financial institutions is less common. There are even loans for people who have income, but cannot verify that income, called non-prime loans. These people can afford expensive houses, but may not be able to prove where their money is coming from, and the banks want to accommodate them because cash is king! Over the decades suburbs have taken much criticism as being the recipients of white flight and the last bastion of the lace front curtain, white shoe law firm community. However, as indicated, the data shows a much more complex racial mosaic. Suburbs are becoming more multiracial and multiethnic. Ironically, as we enter the new century, the suburbs have the opportunity to achieve what the cities largely have failed to accomplish: truly racially integrated communities. To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gentle, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never—in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to by my symphony. #RandolphHarris 18 of 19

I have come to terms with the future. From this day onward I will walk easy on the Earth. Plant trees. Kill no living things. Live in harmony with all creatures. I will restore the Earth where I am. Use no more of its resources than I need. And listen, listen to what it is telling me. Were the sky of parchment made, a quill each reed, each twig, and blade o, could we with ink the oceans fill, were every human a scribe of skill, the marvelous story of God’s greatest glory would still remain untold; for He, Most High, the Earth and sky created alone of old. Without fatigue or weary hand, He spoke the word, He breathed command; the World and all that therein dwell, field and meadow, fen and fell, mount and sea, in six days He with life did then inspire; the work when ended, His glory ascended upon His throne of fire. Before Him myriads angels flash, to praise the Mighty One, Ancient of Days; six-winged hosts stand at their posts—the flaming Seraphim—in hushed awe together draw to chant their morning hymn. The angels, together, without delay, call one to another in rapturous lay: “Thrice holy He whose majesty fills Earth from end to end.” The Cherubim soar, like the ocean’s roar, on celestial spheres, ascend, to gaze upon the Light on high, which, like the bow in cloudy sky, is iris-colored, silver-lined; while hasting on their assigned, in every tongue they utter song and bless and praise the Lord, whose secret and source, whose light and force can never be explored. There is the peace which comes from having a well-filled stomach. There is the peace of the graveyard. However, a glimpse gives us the highest peace, the Shanti of Indian sages, that which passeth understanding of the New Testament. #RandolphHarris 19 of 19
