In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in the middle of a dark wood where the straight way was lost.

~ Dante Alighieri

Two happy children smiling outdoors with a house in the background.

Your spirit is mingled with mine. What touches you touches me.

~ Rumi

Person wearing a green knit hat with 'DART' written on it outdoors.

It isn’t for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.

~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Commitment

Now, into the keeping of God, I put
All doings of today,
All disappointments,
 hindrances,
 forgotten things,
 negligences,
All gladness and beauty,
 love,
 delight,
 achievement,
All that people have done for me,
All that I have done for them,
 my work and my prayers.
And I commit all the people whom I love
 to his shepherding,
 to his healing and restoring,
 to his calling and making,
 Through Jesus Christ our lord.
