“No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main” John Donne, poet (Jan 1573-1631).

These words were written before the founding of the United States as a nation. They are as true now as they were then. The message Mr. Donne has for us is that we must work together for the good of the whole. I pray for our national and world leaders to learn and practice this important lesson.
