I am in a giving mood with my 1,000 post milestone. As a tribute to my readers, I have put together 212 select quotes at a convenient link.
These quotes cover the first seven months of 365 Quote Quest where I provide a quote and offer 3-4 questions for reflection. It has been enriching for me to select these quotes and provide some opportunity for introspection.
Here are several of my favourites:
#1 How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. ~Annie Dillard
-Think about what fills up your day. What are your activities, perspectives, interests, and lifestyle?
- Are you happy with your daily regiman?
-What small steps can you make this week to begin to transform your days if necessary?
#2 Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight, Till by turning, turning we come round right.
~ 1848, Shaker song by Joseph Brackett
