Who are the visionaries of the ages before us to which we still turn? They are the masters who managed to bring tranquil beauty into the troubles around them. The ones who practiced peace in times of war, brought insistent integrity into calming the illness of violence, found nobility in resistance, reached for poetry instead of weapons, forgiveness instead of vengeance. And for every iconic soul who has found a place in historic memory for choosing that tranquil path—often at great cost—there are countless ones who have chosen the same in small anonymous ways, through equally pure gestures that will never be known beyond their own neighborhoods. We must be those choosing grace and tranquility, not for glory but for service and its joys, unremembered though it may be.
