“We pray for wisdom not to be embittered by loss, not to be made hopeless by frustration, nor withdrawn and lonely in our sorrow, but to be more out-going, more heedful, more active and loving through all our days. May our lives be enriched by the fleeting joys, the momentary glimpses of beauty, the things of the moment and of the hour which we may treasure, and weave into a richer tapestry of memories and meanings.”
Jacob Trapp (1899 – 1992), Unitarian minister, quoted in Fragments of Holiness for Daily Reflection
