“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to.

Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind-in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved.

No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles.
When they are lighted, darkness goes away-and a touch of wonder remains.”

—“These Small Candles”
