For those of you who don't already know, Thursday was a big day for the living wage campaign at Vanderbilt... yeah escalation!

For my take, see this poem:

"Prophet's Song"

To sing when fleeting breath and truant hope forbid,
To stand when gusts of fear at cyclone strength prevail,
To act when blanket-heavy apath surrounds
To roar when falsehood, clothed in silence, overwhelms.
This then is faith: the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen,
and in God's good grace, to sing, to stand, to act, to roar.
We are called to live this faith.
-John Thornburg
