Somehow, not only for Christmas But all the long year through The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing Returns to you glad. John Greenleaf Whittier:
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", 1962
"Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another." John Muir, naturalist and explorer (1838-1914)
