To live content with small means...
To seek elegance rather then luxury, and refinement rather then fashion...
To be worthy not
respectable,
and wealthy not rich...
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart...
To bear all cheerfully.
Do all bravely.
Await occasions, never hurry... in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconsious,
grow up through the common...
this is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing.
