"For we have seen his star in the east ... "


 
 

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me a light, that I may tread safely into the unknown!"
And he replied:
"Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."

                    The invariable mark of wisdom
                                        is to see the miraculous
                                                        in the common.
                                                                         ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

                                            Art washes from the soul
                           the dust of everyday life.
                                                                         ~ Pablo Picasso
