"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
I just found this quote on my friend's Instagram feed this morning and wanted to remember and share it. A lovely quote to think on at the beginning of my week.
