To ponder . . .

I want to share a quote that Becky used on her blog, Whymiscal Musings. (Thanks Becky for letting me borrow it)

"William Henry Channing's Symphony"
by Arthur Brisbane

THE THOUGHT--
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.
