“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”--Mr. Rogers,
a.k.a. Sir Peredur/Percival/Parsifal of Camelot in a cardigan

Wise words from a wise man.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this.
Thanks, Lynn--I enjoyed looking at your collages and other work!
ReplyDeleteI admire the life of Mr. Rogers more and more--great solidity and purity and love, and great good sense.

ReplyDeleteWise words from a gentle man - thanks for this, Marly.
ReplyDeleteI remember him well from years of watching his show with our children. (Canada had a similar TV show in "Mr. Dressup" played by the equally gentle Ernie Coombs.)
And I am struck all over again by Clive's hand with heart!
Hi Dale and Marja-Leena--
ReplyDeleteI always appreciated his gentleness, especially since some little children probably wouldn't have known of such a way to be without him.
It's a Clivean day. Was just talking with people about him on Twitter.
