Reflecting on . . .
". . . In spite of everything I see all around me every day,
I have . . . assurance that everything will turn out fine.
I don't think I'm the only one.
Why else would the phrase "everything's all right"
ease a deep and troubled place in so many of us?
We just don't know, we never know so much,
yet we have such faith . . . ."
Elizabeth Berg
