God convened a meeting of all the saints in heaven and asked them
which ones wanted their name withdrawn from cities on Earth which
were overpopulated, over-polluted and beset with many social
problems and violence.
Quite a few requested it following the example of the angels for Los Angeles and Saint Francis for San Francisco (see Idea 2743 in Volume VII). But one, Santa Barbara took the floor and said: "I do not want this to be done for Santa Barbara in California. I love that city. All her inhabitants and many visitors and people love it. It is a jewel of well-preserved nature and I was killed in the Middle Ages for loving nature. It has trees lining all its streets. Its air is the purest one can have. Its traffic is fluid. It is famous for its cleanliness and for the prohibition of advertisements beyond a very modest size. It should be a model for many other cities in the world. I continue to recommend to it further improvements. For example, it has a Chamber of Commerce, but not a Chamber of the Environment. It has a Bank of America, but not a Bank of Nature. It has a Santa Barbara Bank and Trust but should have a Santa Barbara Earth and Beauty Trust. It has a Washington National Bank but I would like to see a Santa Barbara Natural Bank. I am sure they will do it and therefore I ask you dear God to maintain my name for that city of which I am so proud." God: "Okay, it is agreed." Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
A
good writer must convey hope and happiness. The reader
wants to be reassured about life, aggrandized, not
diminished. Why should he receive your unhappiness and
adversities? He has enough of his own. You might interest
him, but he will put your book aside and never return to
it. He will re-read only inspiring, positive, hopeful,
helpful books.*
