Had we wisdom deep enough to know ourselves, single-handed,
No benefits would result from the works of ancient saints.

Great sentiment!
Thanks, Tom, and you be well.
Hi,
What a timely reminder to look Within as opposed to always looking back to those who have gone before for insight and wisdom. Be well during this time of trial, etc. My best from little Victoria, B.C.
Gerry, thank you. My best to you from little West Allen Valley, Northumberland. Baht ‘at!
