Diane – my imaginative press agent and morale booster – organized the effort to supply me with notes and cards from people to wish me well on the trip and give me inspiration.
Sister Evelyn sent in some quotes from the book “God’s Creation.” As I’m cycling across Oregon, two of them seem especially appropriate:
“To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower;
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.” – William Blake
“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.”
– Walt Whitman
