Gain and loss,

Pleasure and sorrow,

Come and go like the wind.

To be happy, rest like a great tree in the midst of them all.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do

we have come to our real work;

and that when we no longer know which way to go,

we have begun our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded steam is the one that sings.

Wendell Berry
