I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
---Philippians 4:12
[In remembrance of the Right Reverend Handley Moule, Bishop of Durham]
Sisters and Brothers, I, too, have "hit bottom."
But when I take a glance, I do not find it dirty,
a solid place with an uplook---neither befouled nor rotten;
and, though not as smooth as I would like, still very sturdy.
