In Memory:
Peter Benenson, 1921-2005, founder of Amnesty International, chose an organizational symbol of a candle wrapped in barbed wire. It is based on the Chinese proverb, "It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness."
Said Benenson, "The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who 'disappeared.' That is what the candle is for." Today Amnesty International is into its 44th year and has become the largest independent human rights organization with 1.8 million members and committed supporters worldwide.
Benenson leaves us with a wonderful legacy, as well as the need for us all to pick up the torch, or candle, now that he is gone.

Thought for Valentine's Day:

They are inseparable.
And though one could easily believe that only in death would they be parted,
even that stands to be proven.
For their union was more than physical.
Their thoughts were one.
Their utterances wrapped in mutual approval.
And their love made of a spirit that embraced the universe and all of its living creatures.
The harmony of their song was filled with trust and respect.
Together they imparted to a world caught in bitter struggle against injustice the belief that solidarity welded to the deep committment and belief in nonviolence was and still remains the most powerful weapon in humankind's arsenal of choice.
