My really good friend from LA gave this to me...

Living the Good Life
By Reverend William Henry Channing

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 the stars and the birds, to babes and sages with open heart; to hear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and uncouscious grow up through the common.

You know, either this is bullshit or he's on to something. Right now I don't know what to think.
