Jack’s Winning Words 5/7/19
“Every individual matters.  Every individual has a role to play.  Every individual makes a difference.”  (Jane Goodall)  This quote reminds me of John Donne’s poem, “No Man Is an Island,” words that explore the connectedness of people.  While it talks about death, it’s not a sad poem. It explains how what happens in other parts of the world does affect us.  To feel sad/happy about people we may not know is OK.  We’re all linked as part of God’s creation.   ;-)  Jack

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  WW is certainly your niche! Glad you share with us!!!

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  how very true, Jack.    do recall Simon and Garfunkel's hit song, I am a Rock, I am an Island (and I feel no pain)?===JACK:  Rock Island is the city next door neighbor to the city of Moline (IL) where I grew up.  It was also the home of the Rock Island Railroad.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  We are all on the earth together.  While sometimes it’s hard to understand, it’s always easy to say a prayer for others we don’t know.===JACK:  What shall we pray?===JUDY:  For good health, food, crops, children, those facing death and God’s Will.
