“You can't do anything
about the length of your life,
but you can do something
about its width and depth."
- Evan Esar
May wonder and imagination lead us to see and appreciate the great wide expanse of creation's beauty.
May reverence and awe move us to embrace the rich diversity in all of nature, especially in humanity.
May compassion carry us into the depths of love.
May talent and hope - along with our dreams - stretch us to great heights of perceiving how we can contribute toward a better world.
With wisdom, may we recognize what is ours to do.
And, with faith and joy may we do what is ours to do in the spirit of loving service.
Notice how we can go wide and deep in the way we live our lives and still walk in a straight and narrow path of goodness and authenticity.
And may we do this with peace and harmony.
Truly,
Charlene
