Nature is well adapted to our weakness as to our strength...We are made to exaggerate the importance of what work we do; and yet how much is not done by us! ...So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place at every instant.

...I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.

trust... good advice, difficult to do at times. Practice helps.
Trusting helps to let go when it is needed, I think.

It is difficult I battle with that every day.
