  Sailed off in a wooden shoe, -

  Into a sea of dew.

  Your childhood is a bower:
  Let my fingers wander in the moss
  Where glows the rosebud
  Let me among the clean grasses
  Drink the drops of dew
  Which sprinkle the tender flower

  And overpoise of multitudinous leaves.

  And intense verdure, yet find room enough)
  Stood reconciling all the place with green.

• There is a dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens in cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself, and the drops run off. God rains His goodness and mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them.

  Henry Ward Beecher

• Because of the conflicts and challenges we face in today’s world, I wish to suggest a single choice—a choice of peace and protection and a choice that is appropriate for all. That choice is faith. Be aware that faith is not a free gift given without thought, desire, or effort. It does not come as the dew falls from heaven. The Savior said, “Come unto me” (Matthew 11:28) and “Knock, and it shall be [given] you” (Matthew 7:7). These are action verbs—come, knock. They are choices. So I say, choose faith.

• Did you not look upon the world this morning and imagine it as the boy might see it? And did you not recognize the mist and the dew and the birdsong as elements not of a place or a time but of a spirit? And did you not envy the boy his spirit? For you know there can be no power over him who freely gives what another would take. Such a one has the capacity to love. Freely, naively, to say I do.
