What was once impossible now summons us to dismantle the walls between
ourselves and our sisters and brothers, to dissolve the distinctions
between flesh and spirit, to transcend the present limits of time and
matter, to find, at last, not wealth or power but the ecstasy (so long
forgotten) of commonplace, unconditional being. For the atom's soul is
nothing but energy. Spirit blazes in the dullest of clay. The life of
every woman or man-the heart of it-is pure and holy joy.

In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a
state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of
incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to
create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion
date, then do it.

Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way,
surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that
your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten
when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And
even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have
a loving family, you are a success.

Why does a virtuous man take delight in the landscapes? Because the din of the dusty world and the locked-in-ness of human habitations are what human nature habitually abhors; while on the contrary, haze, mist, and the haunting spirits of the mountains are what human nature seeks, and yet can rarely find.
