"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Good Quote

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, 
night and day, to make you everybody else 
means to fight the hardest battle which any human 
being can fight; and never stop fighting."  - e e cummings

I love this quote and I want to my kids to memorize it.  I want to stencil it on the inside of their eyelids.  But not really.  Because that would be gross.
