…sometimes your most disappointing

disappointments have become your

greatest blessing. Sometimes the planting

of a seed necessitates its death, the death of 

your fondest hopes, before it can be reborn to

bear the fruits of new life and new opportunity

so that there is little energy

if you do not become self-important,

you can do several things as easily as one

if you leave yourself out

Inherent capacities cannot be exceeded,

a pint cannot hold a quart. The spirit

concept cannot mechanically be forced

into the material memory mould

Few mortals ever dare to draw

anything like the sum of personality credits

established by the combined ministries of

nature and grace. The majority of

impoverished souls are truly rich,

but they refuse to believe it
