You are here, now, at this place, at this time, in this room, in your world . . . and you have never been at this moment before. Well, then, take this moment and instead of letting it wing through the mind as nothing, receive it as a divine gift and place it in the chalice, holding it up as high as you can reach. . . . This is how inspiration will pour into your life for, oh, it is so important not to drop the moments on the floor. Hold them up into the light when all the currents and tides are against you; every time you raise a low impulse to the highest, those nearest to you are lifted and changed.
