Things Unseen

Do you believe only in the things you can see?

It is the thing not seen that is the most important -- a house is a thing seen, but a home is a thing unseen; a brain can be seen, but a mind is unseen; you can see a mother's face, but not the love behind it; you can see a word, but not an idea; a church, but not God; flags, but not patriotism.  And so on down the line of things that are real and those that are fanciful.... 

 

Love, joy, peace, mirth and all the good vital forces are about us just as the atmosphere, but because we are sometimes a little stupid and vain we only believe in what we can actually see.

The poorest man, the humblest soul can be happy if he but opens and revels in the infinite storehouse of unseen treasures that are his.
