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 listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart;
to study hard;
to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common ~ this is my symphony
~ william henry channing (1810-1884)

Beautiful! Thanks for stopping by to visit leaving a sweet comment and following my blog. What a fun blog you have…I lived in Texas for three years, just north of Corpus Christi in Portland….loved it!! It has been sometime since I have blogged and I am trying to get back in the swing. Looking forward to reading your posts. Have a great week!! ;o)
Thanks so much for the lovely and true words by Channing. I adore this and will copy it for my journal.
All joys to you,
