Let yourself be open and life will be easier.
A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable.
A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.

Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul -
and sings the tunes without the words -
and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson

I think over again my small adventures, my fears,
These small ones that seemed so big.
For all the things I had to get
and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing.
The only thing.
To live to see the great day that dawns.
And the light that fills the world.
Inuit song

HE clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

how refreshing -
the whinny of a packhorse
unloaded of everything!

Oh Joy that seekest me through pain
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
”O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go”
hymn by George Matheson

And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light,
In front, the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward, look, the land is bright.
Arthur Hugh Clough

The world is filled, and filled
with the Absolute.
To see this is to be made free.
