"If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame." ~Adam Duritz

The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then
do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's
plain,
common work
as it comes,
certain that daily duties
and daily bread
are the sweetest things
in life.

~Robert Louis Stevenson
