Thought for the Day

[. . .] — to come anywhere in the world or, more accurately,

to be anywhere in the world — is not only to register accurately

what one sees, and not only to convey how one sees it (how one

assesses it, how one judges it). It is to turn seeing into witnessing,

and witnessing into advocacy. And most importantly, to inspire

a similar transformation in others. [. . .]

~ George Dardess
