The walk up from the cortijo, ( Spanish farm ) along the narrow, winding, steep tracks had been exhausting: harder than she had ever known it to be, and she had lagged far behind the others, gasping for breath, her joints stiff and painful.

It's true that all that it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing, so we who are motivated by love have a duty speak out against the evils of the world ; not to be ashamed of our histories, nor embarrassed about being and saying clearly what we are and what we believe. If we don't learn to love each other, we'll perish. Although I am an atheist, my guiding principle is, and always has been, Christ's adjuration to " Love thy neighbour as thyself"
