June 20, 2014 confident 18 mile meditative run,“However
mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names.
It is not as bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The faultfinder
will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may
perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The
setting sun reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the
rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I
do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering
thoughts, as in a palace.”
Henry David Thoreau Walden
