I know, I know.
I've mentioned John Perkins only like two days ago.
BUT! Jon Foreman (who is rather brilliant) just wrote an article for the Huffington Post on the one and only Mr. Perkins. It was so genius I thought I would share :)
Some quotes:
"His (Perkins) story is living proof that love is louder than violence, louder than hatred, and louder than racism."
"Love looks into the future and sees possibilities that do not currently exist. Love is larger than the moment; love is larger than the present tense. Maybe it has to start with a dream, a dream of a better world."
"These audacious dreams of equality and liberty pull us forward. These hopes drive our lives with purpose and vision; our actions become us, and we become our actions. The only way to become a runner is by running. A disciple of love must begin by loving those around her. Every dream has to start somewhere."
"Love lays herself down for others. Love is willing to trade kindness for hate, acceptance for fear, and compassion for rage. Love refuses to recognize the walls between us, and chooses instead to find the commonalities. Love permits damage rather than damaging the other."

Peace. Love. Joy.
