do justly, now

[lookingland]

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief.
Do justly, now.
Love mercy, now.
Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to complete the work,
but neither are you free to abandon it.

~ attributed to the talmud ~

Beautiful words. Sort of sums up what I've been thinking about recently.

Thank you for sharing...:)

This is often how I feel about writing -- very much so today. Thanks for sharing it, and the striking picture -- did you take that?
