I want to be famous to shuffling men
who smile while crossing streets,
sticky children in grocery lines,
famous as the one who smiled back.
I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,
or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it could do.
~ Naomi Shihab Nye from "Famous"
May the Light that lighteneth Everyone come into this world
May the Light that lighteneth Everyone come into this world, pierce the darkness of the age, so that the tree of life may survive and bring forth new shoots!
