... the mightiest word is love


Some live by "Love thy neighbor as thy self." Others by first do no harm, or take no more than you need. What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance.... anything can be made, any sentence begun.
Elizabeth Alexander excerpted from her Inaugural Poem, 1/20/2009
