We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. if you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? if you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? if all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?

Frequently, we busily search for group service projects, which are surely needed and commendable, when quiet, personal service is also urgently needed. sometimes the completing of an occasional group service project ironically salves our consciences when, in fact, we are constantly surrounded by a multitude of opportunities for individual service. in serving, as in true worship, we need to do some things together and some things personally. our spiritual symmetry is our own responsibility, and balance is so important.

Yet there are times when a deeper need enters, when we want the poem to be not only pleasurably right but compellingly wise, not only a surprising variation played upon the world, but a re-tuning of the world itself.

We are rare and precious because we are alive, because we can think as well as we can. we are privileged to influence and perhaps control our future. i believe we have an obligation to fight for life on earth - not just for ourselves, but for all those, humans and others, who came before us, and to whom we are beholden, and for all those who, if we are wise enough, will come after.
