                                                No speed of wind or water rushing by
                                                But you have speed far greater. You can climb
                                                Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
                                               And back through history up the stream of time.
                                               And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
                                               Nor chiefly that you may go where you will,
                                               But in the rush of everything to waste,
                                               That you may have the power of standing still-
                                               Off any still or moving thing you say.
                                              Two such as you with such a master speed
                                              Cannot be parted nor be swept away
                                              From one another once you are agreed
                                              That life is only life forevermore
                                              Together wing to wing and oar to oar 

                               Frost                           

QUOTES - JOURNAL - JULES RENARD

                              A morning so gray the birds went back to bed


                            ...it is better to do noting than to do it badly.


I desire nothing from the past. I do not count on the future. The present is enough for me. I am a happy man, for I have renounced happiness.


                  I don't care about knowing many things: I want to know the things I care about.

COLLECTS

Collect: Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at his coming, so that, gathered at his right hand, they may be worthy to possess the heavenly Kingdom. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Collect
		Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty       to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
