The Lord showed me, so that I did see clearly, that he did not dwell in these temples which men had commanded and set up, but in people's hearts... his people were his temple, and he dwelt in them.

"What is within the power of each one of us is to focus, over and over, on smaller areas within our reach rather than on the entirety of our society."
"Quakers say we are to see that of God in everyone. This is not an automatic behavior for most people but instead must be a consciously made choice, even when it is a hard move to make," says Michelle Downey. "When I truly pursue this, it influences every interaction I have with others."
