“This is the time when the earth is renewing herself peacefully, marvellously, victoriously. No power on earth may push back this triumphant tide of life… We are grateful that we ourselves as part of this great and glorious ordering… All unseen, the goodness of the air blesses every cell and fibre of our bodies, while silently our blood circulates through our veins, food strengthens us, and water, so humble and precious and clean, daily bestows its vital blessings. We are part of the ceaseless web of life, part of the harmony in the eternal song of praise; we resolve not to break, through stupidity, carelessness, or greed, the lovely and delicate strains of life’s web; not to bring discord and ugliness into the music of life.”
