“Happiness depends on ourselves.”–Aristotle
(Very much so–attitude being the key, regardless of limits and limitations including health.)
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”–Frank Lloyd Wright
(Certainly a daily reminder, natural disasters excluded. Much of our sense of mystery and beauty comes through contact with and openness to Nature. As Aldous Huxley pointed out, though, our rational life with its abstractions and intellectualizing can get in the way of our responses to and receptivity to Nature’s gifts. As with all beauty, we need to just accept and be conscious of it in order to experience the Zen benefits thereof.)
