01/14/2008: "Thought..."

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."

a quote by William Henry Channing. I like the part of "Hurry never" only wish I could live it!

Where did you get that piece? I like it. It gives you a lot to think about when you want to put life into perspective. Mom
