“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow human beings.”
[Herman Melville]
“We clasp the hands of those who go before us,
And the hands of those who came after us;
We enter the little circle of each other’s arms,
And the larger circle of lovers
whose hands are joined in a dance,
and the larger circle of all creatures,
passing in and out of life,
who move also in a dance,
to a music so subtle and vast
that no one hears it except the fragments.”
[Wendell Berry, Healing]
Hold hands, hold hearts. Bless each of us and all of us.
