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.
