in the past I have never expressed the belief that I am a particularly spiritual man, at least not in biblical terms. however, having conveyed that notion, still must I impart my firmly held belief that all or most of humanity carries a nugget of ingrained concern for their fellow man, however limited or circumscribed. this I suppose, is my spiritual bent. now comes a celebration of peace. did you see what I just wrote? 'a celebration of peace'. to emulate one, such as Jesus has been purported to be, could never be a wrong thing. were that we could always be strong in our courage of conviction and step through life in but sandals of samaritanism, then earthly matters could become as heaven for us all.
