Some Wisdom In The Altered Book

 This is a pretty simple page, just printed on patterned tissue paper and bordered with washi tapes.  It is a LOT of words, really good words, so I intentionally used a frilly font so you have to work a little to read it.

This is what it says:
"To live content with small means...
To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion...
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich...
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart...
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never...
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common...
... this is to be my symphony."
William Henry Channing
Not a lot I can add to that!
