Dorothy Day: “Sometimes it takes [just] one step. . .And yet the older I get the more I see that life is made up of many steps, and they are very small affairs, not giant strides. I have ‘kissed a leper’ not once, but twice—consciously—and I can't say I am any the better for it.”

At his arrest in 1971 he was asked if he feared jail: "Wouldn't you go to jail if it would help end this war?" As it turned out, he did help end the war, and thanks to Nixon's crimes, he was able to spend the last 50 years working for peace--as he will with his last breath.

The last decade of her eventful life: Traveled around the world, including Tanzania, India, Russia; last arrest with Farmworkers; stared down IRS over tax resistance; opened shelter for homeless women; still looking toward horizon, while slowing down and preparing for death....
