“I always watch for the longest day in the year
and then miss it.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby

To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk
or an evening saunter…
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring-
these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

-John Burroughs
