“I want my life to challenge people to think philosophically. I want people to ask themselves and each other what time it is on the clock of the world.”

Grace Lee Boggs, 1915 – 2015

In honor of Grace and her life of sacred activism, may we all live this question as contemplative quest and re-member some more of her sage words on what time it is on the clock of the world…

“We need to find that balance of life that respects each other, that thinks that the most important thing at this time on the clock of the world is not our accumulation of things, is not economic growth which threatens and imperils all life on this planet including ourselves, that the time has come to grow our souls, to grow our relationships with one another, to create families that are loving and communities that are loving, to bring the neighbor back into the hood.”

What time is it on the clock of the world?

“The Great Peace towards which people of good will throughout the centuries have inclined their hearts, of which seers and poets for countless generations have expressed their vision, and for which from age to age the sacred teachings of humankind have constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach of the nations and the human family. For the first time in history it is possible for everyone to view the entire planet, with all its myriad diversified peoples, in one perspective.World peace is not only possible but inevitable. It is the next stage in the evolution of this planet!”
