"I saw behind me those who
had gone, and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my
father and his father and all our fathers, and in front to see my son
and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes.
As I felt so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as
tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line
that had no beginning and no end. And the hand of his father grasped my
father's hand and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right
hand and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was to
Time That Is and Is Not Yet, raised their hands to show the link. And we
found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man, made in the Image,
fashioned in the womb by the Will of God, the Eternal Father."

How Green Was My Valley
How Green Was My Valley
In all of us there is a
hunger, marrow deep,
to know our heritage -
to know who we are and where we came from.
Without this enriching knowledge,
there is a hollow yearning.
No matter what our attainments in life,
there is still a vacuum, an emptiness,
and the most disquieting loneliness.
