It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple. ~ Tagore

Today’s Reflection ~ Sing, Love, & Dance
Go out in the world and work like money doesn’t matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching. ~ Victor Hugo
The Coming of Light ~ Mark Strand
Even this late it happens:
the coming of love, the coming of light.
You wake and the candles are lit as if by themselves,
stars gather, dreams pour into your pillows,
sending up warm bouquets of air.
Even this late the bones of the body shine
and tomorrow’s dust flares into breath.
Today’s Reflection ~ Present Moment
I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now. ~ Willie Nelson
Today’s Reflection ~ Happiness
Happiness, for you we walk on a knife edge. To the eyes you are a flickering light, to the feet, thin ice that cracks; and so may no one touch you who loves you. Eugenio Montale
The Richer Mines ~ John Kendrick Bangs
When it comes to buying shares
In the mines of earth,
May I join the millionaires
Who are rich in mirth.
Let me have a heavy stake
In fresh mountain air—
I will promise now to take
All that you can spare.
When you’re setting up your claim
In the Mines of Glee,
Don’t forget to use my name—
You can count on me.
Nothing better can be won,
Freer from alloy,”
“Than a bouncing claim in “Con-
Solidated Joy.”
You can have your Copper Stocks
Gold and tin and coal—
What I’d have within my box
Has to do with Soul.
John Kendrick Bangs
Today’s Reflection ~ Love
Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. ~ Leo Tolstoy
