“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair..."

“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to.
Little things usually: Remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind - in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved.
No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles.
When they are lighted, darkness goes away - and a touch of wonder remains.”
