"The past, future and the present are each various dimensions of a single unity. We are able to relish this unity as we sense these various depths of time - one being essential, the others secondary and intertwined. There are some objects, however, which are like a point or a line drawn, connecting us with our spiritual roots. Through the associations they conjure, we can delve more profoundly into the past and we can cherish hopeful expectations for the future, armed with a persistence, endurance, and determination that are necessary for the time to come."
