Thank you to Peter Hollingworth for providing this reflection on 21 August 2024.
Today, I am quoting from Margery Williams’ book “The Velveteen Rabbit” 1921.
“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
Today we offer thanks for good fun, good food, good fellowship and the privilege of serving others through Rotary.
