There is nothing I can give you
which you have not
But there is much, very much, that
while I cannot give it, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present instant. Take peace!
The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Beyond it, yet within reach, is joy.
There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see,
and to see, we have only to look.
Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by
their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy, or hard.
Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it
a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power.
fra Giovanni, 1513 A.D.
It's All Temporary
