Drop Thy still dews of quietness
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
Let us kneel
before the stream
of our lives
mining for those
golden moments when
we see right through
to the real: kindness,
laughter, innocence,
the light of all things
Then, slowly
release all the rest
allow it to flow
the way life will when
we learn what to hold,
what to let go.
Arlene Gay Levine
It was so simple. So average . . .
how could he find perfection
in such an
ordinary day . . . I realized
this was the
whole point.
Mitch Albom
