The poem below is one of my favorites, and it is one that I had to memorize in high school for a BritishLiterature class I was taking.
'No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee'.
-John Donne
A reminder on Christmas Eve: life is not meant to be traveled alone. You and I, we need each other. We're made for community, made for good works.
Made to love and be loved.
