Happiness

Each morning the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed... The happiness of the next twenty-four hours depends on our ability, on waking, to pick it up.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940)
Critic and philosopher

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wandering is one of the most sensible things in the world to do. I highly recommend the pursuit of happiness from east to west, bending and stopping, pausing, enjoying, not going anywhere in particular except down a beach or around a pond, always knowing that there is something wonderful just ahead.
