                                                  MOUNTAINOUS MOLEHILLS

                                             "They make," wrote Thomas Becon (c.1560)
                                             "of a molehill a mountain."

                                             Politicians do it at election time
                                             Preachers do it on Sunday
                                             Husbands do it to their wives
                                             Mothers do it to their children
                                             Employers do it to their employees.

                                             Alas, it appears that all of us are sometimes
                                             guilty of making mountains out of molehills.

                                             How easily, with the same breath, we
                                             condone our own actions while at the same 
                                             time we condemn our neighbors' actions.

                                             How easy it is...to see the speck of sand
                                             in the eye or our fellowman...
                                             And so difficult to recognize...the boulder
                                             on our shoulder.

                                             May we learn to be less critical of others
                                             as we become older...
                                             And, become greater lovers of our 
                                             fellow-mole (er, man).
