But How to Seek

A  L  O  H  A !

" Humility 
is attentive 
Patience. "

Simone Weil













" There are natures 
that go to the 
streams of life
 in great cities
 as the hart 
goes to the
 water brooks. "

Philip G. Hamerton













 "The real
is always way
ahead
of what we 
can imagine."

Paul Auster















" A ship's engine far away on the water 
expands the summer-night horizon.
 Both joy and sorrow 
swell in the dew's magnifying glass. 
Without really knowing, 
we divine; our life has a sister ship, 
following quietly another route. 
While the sun blazes behind the islands. "

Tomas Transtromer








" What we need 
for our happiness 
is often close 
at hand,
 if we knew
 but how to 
seek for it. "


NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, 
American Note-Books, Aug. 22, 1837

  3. The real
    is always way
    ahead of what we
    can imagine

    Reality is often quoted as restraining upon what we had anticipated. Nicely Cloudio!
