Keeping Our Inner Light Lit
Sometimes our light goes out, but it is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being;
Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have
rekindled this inner light.
We are not put on this earth to see through one another,
But to see one another through.
Let the world know you as you are, Not as you think you should be.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love ,
to work , to play, And to look at the stars.
Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind
can see.
I feel like a child who while playing by the seashore
has found a few bright colored shells and a few pebbles ,
while the whole vast ocean of truth stretches out a
almost untouched and unruffled before my eager fingers.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,And the storms their energy, While cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
If you wish your children to think deep thoughts,To know the holiest emotions,
Take them to the woods and hills, And give them the freedom of the meadows;
The hills purify those who walk on them.
