Nothing Is So Beautiful As Spring

Hello all of you wonderful paper artists!

Lord, our lives are moving at such speed
that we miss so much of each other,
Help us to slow down and and to see each other,
to really listen, and to care about what's going on,
no matter how small or inconsequential it may seem.
                                                                      Amen.
