I don't have any of Emily or Kate, but I love them, too!! Doesn't Lia look funny in this one - she seems to be slipping out of the picture and very skeptical about it.

Pensamientos
We must hope against hope. We are called to do so especially within a hopeless humanity that is more and more paralyzed by fear… fear is useless, and instead we must look for love far and wide.
- Oscar Andrés Cardinal Rodríguez
La calle es un espejo de
las formas de dominacion
y poder donde los mas
grandes y rapidos
intentan aplastar a los
mas pequenos y lentos.
El uso de la bicicleta,
como medio autonomo de
transporte, es una forma
de insurrection al
capitalismo. No
queremos ser grandes y
veloces como las autos,
ni mucho menos
poderosos, solo ser
libres...
As long as there is a United States of America, there will be territorial and social boundaries between it and the rest of the world. What is not given is the nature of those boundaries. Whether they are walls or bridges, or boundaries of death or of life, whether we perceive and treat those on the other side of those boundaries as inferior and less worthy of lives of multifaceted security, or as fully human and thus deserving of the same rights and privileges as us, is, as always, a matter up for grabs.
- Joseph Nevins
If I had any hatred, I wouldn’t have lasted at all.
Hatred is self-destructive… you have to have Love for a cause.
- Emma Tenayuca, labor organizer
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect every-thing. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything.
- Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
To the question "Who do you say that I am?" we cannot give a merely theoretical or theological answer. What answers it, in the final analysis, is our life, our personal history, our manner of living the gospel.
- Gustavo Gutierrez
Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause - the cause of liberation.
- Paulo Freire
The average American consumes as much as 50 Haitians... What would happen if the fifty Haitians consumed as many cars, as many televisions, as many refrigerators or as many luxury goods as the one American? Nothing. Nothing would ever happen again. We would have to change planets. Ours, which is already close to catastrophe, couldn't take it.
The precarious equilibrium of the world depends on the perpetuation of injustice. So that some can consume more, people must continue to consume less. To keep people in their place, the system produces armaments. Incapable of fighting poverty, the system fights the poor.
-Eduardo Galeano
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, but we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Solidarity is another name for the kind of love that moves feet, hands, hearts, material goods, assistance, and sacrifice toward the pain, danger, misfortune, disaster, repression or death of other persons or a whole people.

About Me
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all
to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism.
Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
- Mons. Oscar Romero
We adore you, O Christ, and bless you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world!

Aw, you used the one with me in it that I thought I looked good in- even though I look completely remiss as a parent as Lia slides off. :)
