Long Necks


The giraffe used to have a short neck. That was all he had
expressed of himself. But his pasturage ran short and he began to
reach up after the palm leaves. He reached and looked and reached
again. This unwonted exercise stretched his neck until it is now
long enough to easily reach the palm tops. So it has ceased to grow
longer. As long as he kept reaching out his neck kept growing."
~The Joy Philosophy
by Elizabeth Towne

Reach high. Your own growth is dependent upon it.
