Bertrand Russell once said, "I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk
to a savant I become certain that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet
when I talk to my gardener, I'm convinced of exactly the opposite." We can
only guess what had affected the gardener. Perhaps it was working in the earth,
in close harmony with nature and nature's God. But we need not guess when it
comes to Jesus. In the beatitudes he told us all how to find happiness -- even
in the midst of painful circumstance. When we follow his directions happiness
is not just possible, it is certain.
