"This is the real secret of life ...."

This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

Alan W Watts

"He who can no longer pause ...."

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

--> Albert Einstein


"Joy and woe are woven fine"

Joy and woe are woven fine,

A clothing for the soul divine.

Under every grief and pine


Runs a joy with silken twine.

William Blake

i thank You God for most this amazing

day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes ….
