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 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.

William Henry Channing

Hello Wrenchy, thank you for stopping in and commenting. I couldn't agree more. To just take a moment and just be. Life get's so crazy sometimes, it's important now more than ever to smell the roses. Or, turkey, as the case will be soon. Be well, rayne

It is a beautiful symphony Thank you for sharing

Rayne, wishing you all the success in living by those words.

If you do fall short there are always lots of sparkly pillows to throw at you.

Kiss

Hey Kevin, you've been on my mind today for some reason. No doubt, I need to throw a sparkly pillow at you. Or was it the saddle leather

Smiles....The feeling is mutual. But I have to admit it has been a few days for me.

I hope you had a wonderful day. And that saddle leather didn't distract you too much.


softrayne replies on 11/19/2020 7:45 pm:
Thank you, my day was fine, and yours? Ok, so my mind did wander....how wide is it? how long? (and let's just keep this about the saddle leather for now *L*) if it's folded over? does it have that beautiful golden color of warm honey that well oiled leather gets? or is it a darker amber? does it hurt? or hurt so good? kiss

My day was busy..but that is always good.

Oh I have lots of saddle leather. Most is old and dark chocolate brown or almost back from over a half century of use and oil.

Folded over and at least two inches wide and about two feet long it would probably be a thuddy hurt. Definitely reddening. Of course I see no reason for anything other than a hurt so good.

For now...raises an eyebrow.

Kiss

Kevin
