Look How The Smaller Birds Greet The Sun, With So Much Merry Chirruping And So Much Outpouring Of Song! It Is Their Way Of Expressing Worship For The Only Light They Can Know, An Outer One.

You May Accept The Inevitable With Bitterness And Resentment Or With Patience And Grace. Mere Acceptance Is Not Sufficient.
