"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." -- Mohandas K. Gandhi

"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, so will your whole body be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! -- Jesus, according to Matthew 6:22-24

In humility, solemn

words & music by Shawn Kirchner, with debt to Gandhi & Jesus
