The symphony
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, 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-
Inspiration and strength comes from the weirdest of places, just when you needed it most.
This, as it was his...
Is my symphony.
-jess, steadfast-
