The Power Of Love

The other day I came across a beautiful love story unlike any I had ever heard of. It was in a book by Dr. Loren Eisely of the University of Pennsylvania, and it goes like this... "We had, in addition, instructions to lay hands on the present. The word had come through to get them alive --birds, reptiles, anything. A zoo somewhere abroad needed restocking. It was one of those reciprocal matters in which science involves itself. Maybe our museum needed a stray ostrich egg and this was the payo

Impact of a Little Life

Three hundred and fifty million years ago, there lived a little squid. He did squid things. He swam. He ate stuff. Nobody ever contemplated his life. And he never pondered anyone elses life. One day the little squid died. Somehow part of his body stuck around long enough to became fossilised. And three hundred and fifty million years later a human came upon his petrified remains and cut and pollished it into a jewlery grade stone. The other day I bought that stone. And now I ponder the little sq… Continue

Indifference- a speach by Elie Wiesel

Fifty-four years ago to the day, a young Jewish boy from a small town in the Carpathian Mountains woke up, not far from Goethe's beloved Weimar, in a place of eternal infamy called Buchenwald. He was finally free, but there was no joy in his heart. He thought there never would be again. Liberated a day earlier by American soldiers, he remembers their rage at what they saw. And even if he lives to be a very old man, he will always be grateful to them for that rage, and also for their compassion.… Continue

Human Wildlife

I am a man who has wandered out of the wilderness and into a great city. I may be a nomad who has just left the desert, and entered one of the early cities of the ancient Sumarians in the Fertile Crescent. I may be a backwoods countryboy from Mississippi, who has just taken his first subway ride, and finds himself standing in the middle of Times Square. Whoever I am, I am stunned by what I see. I have a choice of reactions. I can be frightened by the unfamiliar chaos. I can be discusted by the n… Continue

At 5:38pm on December 27, 2009, Timothy Seibel said…: Thank you for the friend request. I noticed it's been half a year since you sent it! I created the profile and then forgot about it. I'm now trying to be more active on social networking sites. I am honored that you would be familiar with the Mennonite peace tradition. If you want to learn more about my denomination, you can visit MennoniteUSA.org. There is a directory where you can find a church in your area if you are ever interested in participating in a Mennonite church service. We also have a website with peace resources: http://peace.mennolink.org/. We also have an organization called the Mennonite Central Committee that seeks to promote peace in the world through humanitarian aid and service, conflict resolution, interfaith dialogue, etc. The link is mcc.org.
Your diverse ethnic background is fascinating. I also found your heroes section interesting. I will need to do some research on some of those names that I hadn't heard of before.

My co-authored upcoming book, ''Pursuing Your Destiny,'' tells of my experience on 9/11 and the journey thereafter.
