PLEASE read the fol-
lowing slowly with
your heart, rather
than quickly with your
head.

“If you give me some-
thing I need more than you
do, you've given me a gift. If
you give me something you
need more than I do, you've
gifted me with love” —
Merry Browne.

That’s right; “Merry.”
Speaking of love:

“The day will come when,
after harnessing space, the
. Winds, the tides and gravita-
tion, we shall harness for God
the energies uf love. And on
that day, for the second time
-e-in the history of the world,
‘we shall have discovered fire”
-- Thank you, Tielhard de
Chardin:

I know someone, this hol-
iday season, who is particu-
larly concerned about grow-
ing “old.” A gift for her:

Emerson expressed it
nicely: “People do not grow

old; when they cease to grow, |

they become old.”

And, as Deepak. Chopra
writes (another: great gift to
our world): “You alone are
the judge of your worth, and
your goal is to discover infi-
nite .worth in yourself, no
matter what anyone cise
thinks.” As my friend, local
artist Spar Street, has done.
His paintings: great gifts.

There is a lovely, special
little. place to do some
Christmas shopping at 5391

ew. .-Gallane Ave., Deep Cove,

called; “The Mystic
Wardrobe.” I hope you
choose to check it out, 929-
9882.
Merry Christmas, cvery-
“one! Love and be loved!
All one, Robert.
