Satisfying work is the lasting joy. The talent for sharing, for it is not so much what we give as what we share. The love of justice. Justice is the bulwark against violence and oppression and the repository of human dignity. The passion for truth, founded on precept and example.
Truth is the beginning of every good thing.
The power of faith, engendered in mutual trust. Life without faith is a dismal dead end street. The beacon of hop, which lights all darkness. The knowledge of being loved beyond demand or reciprocity, praise or blame, for those so loved are never really lost. The open sky, the brown earth, the leafy tree, the golden sand, the blue water, the stars in their courses, and the awareness of these.
