Good work that leaves the world softer and fuller and better than ever before is the stuff of which human satisfaction and spiritual value are made.
~ Joan Chittister
There is a part of the sun in the apple,
Part of the moon in the rose
Part of the flaming Pleiades
In everything that grows.
Out of the vast comes nearness.
for the God of Love, of which we sing,
Has put a little bit of Heaven
In every living thing.
