Wild Air

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

New day.
Wild air.
Clean slate.
Uncut paths to wander.
Fresh thoughts to wonder.
Travel lightly.
With enthusiasm.
Anticipation too.
To remain and grow yourself in the world.
Greatness.
Hopes and invitations await your attention.

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Complete Prose Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson
