look and listen to the other, how concerned are you with the fate of the other,
of the society, of beauty, of the Earth mother, of nature? "Who you
are" is peanuts for God, "how you are" is the measure by which
God weighs your destiny on the golden scales of eternity.
Gert Biesta is blessed.My blessings to you all
