Blessings

  Helleborus niger

Give the best you have received from the past

to the best that you may come to know in the future.

Accept life daily not as a cup to be drained

but as a chalice to be filled with whatsoever

things are honest, pure, lovely, and of good report.

Making a living is best undertaken as a part

of the more important business of making a life.

Every now and again

take a good look at something not made with hands --

a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream.

There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace

and, above all,

the assurance that you are not alone in the world.
