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.
Yes, I love your words and give this to my eleven years old daughter tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!
The right words at the right moment, yes. Like a gift arriving on a (digital) breeze. Thank you for being our curator of all good things!
I love these words – somewhere I have this passage (poem?) in picture-book form.
I want to soak in every word.
Wow – what synchronicity… I read those very words in a book I’m reading last night. Such wise and beautiful words!
This is a great great quote. I will add it to my journal. Thank you!
Ahhh….
Ohmyheart, this is stunning.
Pure.
Lovely.
And one more time; Stunning.
{Love.}
