“I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been havin' some hard travelin', way down the road
I've been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord.”

~ Woody Guthrie, Hard Travelin’

“The mind of Man is fram’d
even like the breath and harmony of music.
There is a dark invisible workmanship
that reconciles discordant elements,
and makes them move in one society.”

~ William Wordsworth, The Prelude.

stay this moment

“Look on eternity as near at hand.
While I am thinking and writing of it,
it hastens near,
and I am entering into it
before I am aware.”

~ Richard Baxter, The Saint’s Everlasting Rest, ch. 12.
