Gaelic Mantra

echoes everything I believe —Ansel Adams

The only things in my life that compatibly exist with this grand universe
are the creative works of the human spirit...I think of a mantra of Gaelic origin
given to me fifty years ago...it echoes everything I believe:

I know that I am one with beauty
and that my comrades are one.
Let our souls be mountains,
Let our spirits be stars,
Let our hearts be worlds.
