Credo

I am considering a new credo, new words to carry me along when the going gets rough and my energy flags. I’ve had an array of short sayings over the years, mottos to give me courage and insight for the next step. I once had an ID bracelet engraved, “Amor Vincit Omnia” (the Poet Virgil’s “Love Conquers All”). For a time, my own words “Talk is cheap. Deeds speak” carried me through some hard places. Then Matthew 7:12 … “Do unto others …” and so many more … succinct reminders and tiny prayers. Of late, “Respect the dignity of every human being.”*
