The purpose of life is to listen - to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God and, when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find... from within and without.
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that we do
not see the one which has been opened for us."
-Helen Keller (1880-1968)
"Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe,
so no thought or action is without its effects,
present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt."
-Norman Cousins (1912-1990)
