Rejoice

rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has.

which makes us rejoice in ourselves.

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things in nature have a message you understand,
Rejoice, for your soul is alive.
- Eleanora Duse

Life is lived in the mists -
little is fully visible, less is certain.

and let all of life be a wonderful adventure.
