The world is charged with the
grandeur of God.

It will flame out, like shining from
shook foil;

It gathers to a greatness, like the
ooze of oil 

Crushed.

But above all, for me, this is a time to think about our fellow man; to consider those who may be less fortunate than us; and to reach out and support them. It is a time to think of others, to help others; and to reinforce our sense of community. It is a time to celebrate our good fortune; and to support and lift up those around us.
