You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.   ....from Desiderata

Oh let me just a moment stay
where time is not and angels play the paeans of the galaxies;
then speed the stardust on its flight
to change dread darkness into light, cold chaos into ecstasy!

The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes a wrong one.  The more active and swift the latter is, the further he will go astray. - Francis Bacon, essayist, philosopher, and statesman (1561-1626)
