"It is better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you're fighting for."--PAULO COELHO

DAWN - A POEM BY THOMAS BERRY
Look up at the sky--
The heavens so blue, the sun so radiant,
The clouds so playful, the soaring raptors,
The meadows in bloom, the woodland creatures,
The rivers singing their way to the sea,
Wolf song on the land, whale song in the sea,
Celebration everywhere, wild, riotous,
Immense as a monsoon lifting an ocean of joy
And spilling it down over the Appalachian landscape,
Drenching us all with a deluge of delight
As we open our arms and rush toward each other,
You and I and all of us,
Moved by that vast compassionate Presence
that brings all things together in intimate celebration,
celebration that's the universe itself.
