Journey of discovery and growth

it was 1975 when a dear friend placed a Jewish prayerbook on my table,
opened it to "Sayings of the Fathers," and urged me, "Read this."
Little did I know that those ancient words would shout at me,
piercing through the noise of social activism and demanding my attention.
