I have posted this before, but I love it, and it warrants reading again. ”Hurry never” comes to me frequently when I feel myself rushing into something that does not feel just right. Being the best I can be with what I’ve been given is a personal goal, but I sometimes need a little push to remember it.
My 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 study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
