Open wide the window of our spirits,
O Lord, and fill us full of light; open wide the door of our hearts, that
we may receive and entertain you with all our powers of adoration and
love.

I am done with great
things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for
those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to
individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many soft
rootlets...which, if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments
of man's pride.
- William James (1842-1910)

The world is so empty
if one thinks only of mountains, rivers, and cities; but to know someone
here and there who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant, is
close to us in spirit, this makes the earth an inhabited garden.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(1749-1832)

At Christmas I no
more desire a rose Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled earth;

Love is a flower;
your friendship is a sheltering
tree.
