A splendid torch

Though I am fighting a bug and cannot host the circle this week, I hope you will enjoy a quote that really says it all:

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” 

                                                                                    –George Bernard Shaw

Until next week (it will happen one of these days, I promise!), with love,

Anna
