When we are mindful of every nuance of our natural world, we finally
get the picture: that we are only given one dazzling moment of life

elevated, subject to every law of our universe and grateful for our
brief but intrinsic participation with it. (From her biography of
naturalist Eustace Conway.)-- Elizabeth Gilbert

substantial share of good health, a couple of real friends and a wife
and children to share life's beauty with you.
