2012 Outlook

My pastor gave a wonderful message in his homily yesterday.

"For all that has been — Thanks. For all that shall be — Yes." (Dag Hammarskjöld)

It was wonderful and fitting for my outlook for 2012.

My curiosity prompted me to do research on Dag Hammarskjöld. He was a Swedish diplomat, the second United Nations Secretary-General, and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The quote above is from one of his journal entries, which were published in 1964. I am going to have to find that book.

Here are some other quotes that struck a chord with me--

"Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment."

"The longest journey is the journey inwards."

""Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights."
