Down from the door where it began.

And whither then? I cannot say"

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is darkness, light;

to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
