Chasing Eden Quotes

“The Pocumtucks helped the stranger. It’s what we need now: someone to come down the river with a feast, with food and forgiveness. Someone to say, open your heart, take a holiday from your hate, let the hate-making machine—the broadcasts and tweets, the bloody fights in the street—let the hate-making machine rest. Accept today this gift. Love your enemy. Reload the canoes with gifts. Paddle back upriver with humility and thanks.”
― Howard Mansfield, Chasing Eden: A Book of Seekers
