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.

So elegant and eloquent (though these are the same, surely). Much of these ideas were also my early aspiration, although not put into words, rather, they were barely conscious longing. The next-to-last sentence encapsulates the way of true growth, daily practice.
Thank you.
