Summary

This quote conveys the idea that no matter how great an achievement or success one attains, there is always a sense of continuous striving or relentless pursuit for more. Even after winning the Super Bowl, symbolizing the pinnacle of success, there is a realization that the triumph is temporary, and the focus shifts immediately to the next challenge or goal. The quote suggests that if one solely defines their life's purpose by winning, it leads to a feeling of emptiness as life lacks a deeper, more profound meaning beyond material accomplishments.

Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream...
