What makes this world so lovely is that somewhere it hides a well.

Something lovely there is about a well so deep, unpiped and real, filled with buckets and buckets of that life-giving drink.

A faucet will do in a hurry.

But what makes the world so lovely is that somewhere it hides a well. Sometimes people are like wells, deep and real,

natural, unpiped, life-giving, calm and cool, refreshing. They bring out what is best in you.

They are like fountains of pure joy.

They make you want to sing or maybe dance.

They encourage you to laugh even when things get rough.

And maybe that's why things never stay rough once you've found a well.

Some experiences are like wells too.

People create them.

They are life-giving happenings.

They are redeeming experiences.

They are wells, wells of wonder, wells of hope.

When you find a well, and you will someday, drink deeply of the gift within, and then maybe soon,

you'll discover that you've become what you've received, and then you'll

be a well for others to find.

So lift up your eyes and look all around you, over the mountains, down in the valley, out in the ocean, over the runways, into the cities,

into the country, sidewalks and highways, paths in the forest, into the hearts of a thirsty people. Look, and I beg you, don't ever stop

looking because what makes this world so lovely is that somewhere it hides a well, a well

that hasn't been found yet. And if you don't find it, maybe nobody will. And if you don't

be one, maybe nobody will find you. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time. You know, you know
