Talking to my son about choosing a major and was reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Howard Thurman, author, educator, and civil rights leader. #HowardThurman #ComeAlive #LifeMeaning #WritingCommunity #BeYourself

”Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”
—the Rev. Howard Thurman

His poem, "The Work of Christmas," is included in the attached image.

I Will Light Candles This #Christmas
by Howard Thurman

Candles of joy, despite all sadness,
Candles of hope where despair keeps watch.
Candles of courage for fears ever present,
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days,
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens,
Candles of love to inspire all my living,
Candles that will burn all the year long.

your art and your note about it are really beautiful and reminded me of an "Island of Peace Within one's own soul" from #HowardThurman book Meditations of the Heart.

haven't finished the book but he's a deep thinking, peace builder, mentor of Dr MLK. a friend introduced me to him. please look him up if you're not familiar.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Intro post! It took me a while to figure out what to say. I've been a software developer or something related like programming instructor or development manager for more than 20 years. I still love it but am trying to start a new career as an author.

My posts are mainly about #writing, #parenting, #MagicTheGathering, and #ProgressiveChristianity.

Favorite authors: #DorisLessing, #LaurenGroff, #HowardThurman, #StudsTerkel, and #TonkeDragt.

Favorite #MTG deck type: graveyard shenanigans

Two weeks in the fediverse, time for an intro: I’m a filmmaker creating alternative narratives to dominant cultural discourses
through micro documentaries. I’ve always been an outsider, which I love and hate. I believe in “liberty and justice for all,” particularly for #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA+ and #disabled folk. I was diagnosed with #ADHD at 55. My #neurodiverse brain is both my best asset and my greatest enemy. I love #Fellini #HowardThurman #MisterRogers #SpongeBob #Documentary #NarrativeTherapy

“When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost,
to heal the broken,
to feed the hungry,
to release the prisoner,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among the people, to make music in the heart.”

― Howard Thurman

“During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism” - #HowardThurman
