Friar, even when you feel like a voice in the wilderness, you must speak.
Wilderness voices sometimes echo loudly enough to be heard in suburbs and cities.
Also, when you write like this, you meet the wonderful people who think like you do and they comment on your blog (i.e. notapoet) and then you go read theirs and find Common Ground with them.
Don't be upset by the shouting in this neighborhood. We have chosen a fairly loud neighborhood to write in and the people are all immigrants here. Our cultures and backgrounds clash periodically, but we also learn about others fairly quickly and through personal experience. We are blessed.

It is...
the spirit of democracy coming from the Middle Ages. And I'd like to make it known here because a lot of sadness and hatred is generated by recent blogs here. Sometimes I feel the pain of people of cry out "Stop it!" But what can I do? Is the keyboard more powerful than the hate in men's hearts?

This is a great motto, Friar
I'm happy I've developed the habit of scrolling down to the previous post each time I read someone's new post. Otherwise I would have missed this. It is a wise and generous motto. I could recommend it for anyone. I think it would make a good motto for the whole network. Indeed, it would make a good motto for whole nations.
