“What I do know is that, feel it or not – no man is an island, we are not alone. My failures, my successes, my strengths and weaknesses reach beyond me – they affect people around me. Whether or not I feel close, my life – every life – touches other lives. We are joined in a responsibility to together make this world a good one for all of us. Each of us warms the world or chills it inasmuch as we offer or withhold respect, hospitality, encouragement, love, or truth. In that sense we are all parts of each other’s well-being or sickness, and we affect the climate that we all share.” — Rich Mullins [“Never Alone,” R͟e͟l͟e͟a͟s͟e͟ M͟a͟g͟a͟z͟i͟n͟e͟, March/April 1996] #richmullins
