To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter ... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life. - John Burroughs
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. ~Lin Yutang
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things - Robert Brault
All too often I have been absorbed in my work, not listening to music so I won't get distracted. Today I left the sound on as I visited my blog, and marveled at the peace and happiness a simple piece of music (on the blog) brought me. I wish I could slow my footsteps to notice them and feel happy. That is more difficult than graduating from caltech, I think. Sigh.
