Random quote of the day:

“In work perfectly realized there is no thought of reward, no love of procedure, no seeking after good, no clinging to goals, whether of attainment or of God himself.

Random quote of the day:

“So few grains of happiness
measured against all the dark
and still the scales balance.

The world asks of us
only the strength we have and we give it.
Then it asks more, and we give it.

—Jane Hirshfield, “The Weighing”
