A life of joy is not in seeking happiness, but in experiencing and simply being the circumstances of our life as they are.
~ by Charlotte Joko Beck
Drop down, ye heavens, from above,
O sky distill your balmy showers,
For now is risen the star of love
From the rose Mary, flower of flowers:
The clear Sun whom no cloud obscures,
Surmounting daylight undefiled,
Has come down from Heavenly towers
And unto us is born a child.
