Happiness is not found in anything,
nor can it be achieved by any means;
It is a state of being your true self,
It is your very nature;
Happiness lies in self-knowledge.
― Shiva Negi

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
― Franz Kafka
Showy and fragrant Paeonia lactiflora 'Do Tell'. Heirloom variety, first exhibited in 1946. Vigorous bloomer.

at how something as simple
as the alignment of
water
trees
light
creates a masterpiece
every single day,
just by existing.
― Heidi Barr, Cold Spring Hallelujah

If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person.
Do not chase happiness; let it chase you.
― Peter Deunov

attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the failure
but pleasure in contemplating the immensity of the attempt.
― Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason
