His quiet certainty made the ground beneath my feet feel solid. Like someday everything might actually be okay.

May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!

To wash one's hair, make one's toilet, and put on scented robes; even if not a soul sees one, these preparations still produce an inner pleasure.
