< *c>Fulfilment
I have worked in the fertile earth and planted a garden, so I know that faith is.
I have listened to the birds carolling in the early morning and at dusk, so I know what music is.
I have seen the morning without clouds after showers, so I know what beauty is.
I have sat before a wood fire with family, so I know what companionship is.
I have walked the paths of quietness along the forest floor, so I know what peace is.
I have dwelt in the valley of remembrance and on the hills of home, so I know what love is.
I have seen the miracle of spring, the fruition of summer, and the beauty of autumn, followed by the repose of winter, so I know what life is.
And because I have perceived all these things, I know what God is.
