Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Leave everything as it is, in fundamental simplicity,
and clarity will arise by itself.
Only by doing nothing
will you do all there is to be done.

I can give you nothing
that has not already
its origins within yourselfI can throw open no
picture gallery
but your ownI can help make
your own world visible –
that is all.Herman Hesse.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us, or we find it not.

Love, love, love, says Percy.
And hurry as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.
Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.
Mary Oliver, I Ask Percy How I should live my Life

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
