“These things I know: I have planted a garden, so I know what faith is. I have seen birch trees swaying in the breeze, so I know what grace is. I have listened to birds caroling, so I know what music is. I have seen a morning without clouds, after showers, so I know what beauty is. I have read a book beside a wood fire, so I know what contentment is. I have seen the miracle of the sunset, so I know what grandeur is. And because I have perceived all these things, I know what wealth is.”
From Caper’s Weekly, Denver, Co. circa 1935
(from Aunt Ruth‘s scrapbook from her year at Colorado College, 1935)
