We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.
~ Maria Montessori in TO EDUCATE THE HUMAN POTENTIAL
...this is the passing of all shining things
no lingering no backward-
wondering be unto
us O
soul, but straight
glad feet fearruining
and glorygirded
faces
lead us
into the
serious
steep
darkness
