This is my Symphony


My Creed.. My Symphony
To live content with small means
To seek elegance rather than luxury
And refinement rather than fashion
To be worthy, not respectable,
To be wealthy, not rich
To listen to starts and birds,
Babes and sages, with open heart
To study hard
To think quietly
Act frankly
Talk gently
Await occasions, hurry never
In a word, to let the spiritual,
Unbidden and unconscious
Grown up through the common
-THIS IS MY SYMPHONY
-William Ellery Channing
