Wonderful words ...

Abbaye Saint-Hilaire en Provence

Open your heart to the world.

"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, to 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."

by 

William Henry Channing 

(1810-1884)

invited by La Pouyette


Open your heart to the world.
