Chapter One

Inspirations

In All Endeavors

In all endeavors
Strive to celebrate
The spirit of the warrior ...
Calm,
Centered,
Certain...
Whether tending to the flower garden
Or searching for the heart of the divine.

Jo-Anne Rowley

These Are The Gifts I Ask

These are the gifts I ask
Of Thee, Spirit serene:
Strength for the daily task,
Courage to face the road,

Good cheer to help me bear the traveler's load,
And, for the hours of rest that come between,
An inward joy of all things heard and seen.

Henry Van Dyke
(1852-1933)
