My candle burns at both ends;
it will not last the night;
but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
it gives a lovely light!

Edna St. Vincent Millay

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing -
just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs,
or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Ralph Marston
