Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and educator.  Born in Portland, Maine, he has long been remembered for being one of New England’s fireside poets.

Patience’s Landscape

Photo by Adam Borkowski on Pexels.com

Meeting darkness once again

Searching for morning escape

Knowing sunrise overcomes

Patience, changing day’s landscape

 

Deflecting morning worries

Finding peace in clearest sky

Touching early hour’s stillness

Patience, never say goodbye

 

Wanting calmness, come forward

Filling positive mindset

Nurturing new attitudes

Patience, powers life’s reset

 

Stirring kindness from within

Enduring love for others

Overflowing into hearts

Patience, shared with another

 

Sailing serenity’s seas

Reaching for each shooting star

Focusing on tomorrow 

Patience, lowers each crossbar

Henry David Thoreau Quotes

If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.

Smile if it kills you.  The physiology of smiling diffuses a lot of anger and angst.  It makes your body and soul feel better.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American naturalist, poet, and philosopher.  Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne, many of his writings reflected upon living in natural surroundings.
