Only by having these things in my mind can I live beyond what I have to live for.”

The gears of the world grind on, the smokestacks belch, and politicians
speak, scientists distill medicines and poisons, producers produce, and consumers consume, but the true world is here, at the side of the Christ child, in stillness and joy.”
