Quote by James Russell Lowell, The Changl

For the whole year long I seeAll the wonders of faithful NatureStill worked for the love of me;Winds wander, and dews drip earthward,Rain falls, suns rise and set,Earth whirls, and all but to prosperA poor little violet.

For the whole year long I seeAll the wonders of faithful Nat

Summary

This quote reflects upon the beauty and intricate workings of nature that exist solely for the sake of a humble violet. Despite the grandeur of cosmic phenomena such as the movement of winds, the cycle of rain and sunshine, and the rotation of the Earth itself, all these natural wonders ultimately serve to benefit even the smallest and seemingly insignificant living thing. It emphasizes the idea that nature's existence and purpose are not only for the benefit of humankind, but for all living beings, no matter how small or unassuming.

My personal trials have also taught me the value of unmerited suffering. As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways that I could respond to my situation: either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course. Recognizing the necessity for suffering I have tried to make of it virtue. If only to save myself from bitterness, I have attempted to see my personal ordeals as an opportunity to transform myself and heal the people involved in the tragic situation, which now obtains. I have lived these last few years with the conviction that unearned suffering is redemptive.
