Dear Betty,
I enjoyed your "Storyteller" very much, and you motivated me to find another favorite from the depths of my C drive..... I beg indulgence of
the list (since we are in summer lull.)


"I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me
those who are to come, I looked back and saw my
father, and his father, and all our fathers, and in front
to see my son, and his son, and the sons upon sons
beyond.

And their eyes were my eyes.

As I felt, so they had felt and were to feel, as then, so
now, as tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid,
for I was in a long line that had no beginning and no
end, and the hand of his father grasped my father's
hand, and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son
took my right hand, and all, up and down the line that
stretched from Time That Was to Time That Is, and Is
Not Yet, raised their hands to show the link, and we
found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man,
made in the Image, fashioned in the Womb by the
Will of God, the Eternal Father."
