If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.

— Oscar Wilde

Running water is beautiful water. So be a channel. If anything comes, pass it on. Don't cling. (Sri Swami Satchidananda)

from Domestic Pensées

A garden is not an object but a process

Ian Hamilton Finlay (2004)

Simply, tend. To ourselves. To others. To space. To time. To ideas, both stubborn and fleeting. To the practice of living, which requires little more than our immediate senses. To uncharted or forgotten paths.
