To live content

To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury…. listen to stars and birds and babes and sages with an open heart. To study hard, think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions. Never hurry. In a word, to let the spiritual, the unbidden and the unconscious rise up through the common. This is my symphony.

~ William Henry Channing

Thank you to the wonderful Lianne Raymond for again sending me just the precise quote I needed at just the right moment.

  1. Yes, I love your words and give this to my eleven years old daughter tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!

  2. Wow – what synchronicity… I read those very words in a book I’m reading last night. Such wise and beautiful words!
