We have only begun
to imagine the fullness of life.
How could we tire of hope?
So much is in the bud.
~ from CANDLES IN BABYLON by Denise Levertov
No ray of sunshine is ever lost,
but the green which it awakens
into existence
needs time to sprout,
and it is not always granted
for the sower to see the harvest.
.
All work that is worth anything is done
in faith.
