I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.

O dear God, thank you. You are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God. And we thank you, o sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for thee smörgåsbord you have so aptly lain at our table this day, and each day...by day, day by day...by day. O dear Lord, three things we pray: To love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly day by day...by day. Amen.
