teach it in astronomy by reverence; and
we teach it in the playground of fair
play. We teach it by kindness to
animals, by courtesy to servants, and
good manners to one another, and by
helpfulness in all things.
Helen Keller gives us this insight:
Dark as my path may seem to
others, I carry
a
magic light in my heart.
Faith, the spiritual strong searchlight,
illumines the way, and although sinister
doubts lurk in the shadow, I walk
unafraid toward the Enchanted Wood
where the foliage is always green,
where joy abides, where nightingales
nest and sing, and where life and death
are one in the presence of the Lord.
