Finite and infinite...

we are surrounded by possibilities that 
are infinite,  and the purpose of life is to 
grasp as much as we can out of 
that infinitude."

Electric energy....

Source with an intensity set by our desires and 
our will."

My Wage


I bargained with life for a penny, 
And life would pay no more, 
However I begged at evening 
When I counted my scanty store; 

For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask, 
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task. 

I worked for a menial's hire, 
Only to learn dismayed, 
That any wage I had asked of life, 
Life would have paid.

Jessie B. Rittenhouse

Kind Words



"A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken,
And made a friend sincere.

A word - a look - has crushed to earth
Full many a budding flower,
Which, had a smile but owned its birth,
Would bless life's darkest hour.

Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts 
you bring,
A heart may heal or break." 

Daniel Clement Colesworthy

Single thought...


"When it becomes a part of every man's thinking 
that a single thought can change the polarity of 
our entire body toward either life or death - and 
can likewise change its entire chemistry toward 
increasing alkalinity or acidity to strengthen it 
or weaken it - or can change the shape of every 
corpuscle of matter in the entire body in the 
direction of either growth or decay - then the 
medical profession will radically change both 
its principles and its practices with the ailment 
of bodies."

Walter Russell

Making Life Worth While



Every soul that touches yours,
Be it the slightest contact
Get there from some good;
Some little grace; one kindly 
thought; One aspiration 
yet unfelt;
One bit of courage for the 
darkening sky;
One gleam of faith
To brave the thickening ills of life;
One glimpse of brighter skies 
To make this life worthwhile
And heaven a surer heritage. 

George Eliot
