"in the darkest spot of earth, some love is found"

I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made
Joy to abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round,
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.

-Adelaide Proctor

  1. Yay for Jonny! I will never forget him in Spanish class the very first year I taught at New Hope: "FUERTEMENTE!!!!"
    I don't know if you guys remember that, but it's emblazoned on my brain.
    Love your list!
