"To live content with small means,
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
to be worthy, not respectable,

and wealthy, not rich...
to think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;

to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages,
with an open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely...
This is to be my symphony. 
- William Ellery Channing

What is to be your symphony?

Listen for the notes humming in your heart. Feel for the rhythms of your soul. Sense the goals and intentions that stir your hope. Notice the attitudes and actions that make your spirit soar with joy while giving you peace.

Perhaps it's:

Being authentic. Speaking the truth. Loving nature. Being kind and respectful to all children and adults. Feeding the hungry. Paying good deeds forward. Rescuing endangered animals. Seeing the world with wonder. Listening. Helping people in need. Giving thanks...

What are your guiding principles?

Let's each discover our own, practice them daily, and play the symphony of our lives, while we bring a measure of healing harmony into the world.   

With love,
Charlene
