IN MEMORY OF NORMA
Contribution by Marg Lyons
MY SYMPHONY
To live content with small means:
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion.
To study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to stars and birds,
to babes and sages, with open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,
await occasions, hurry never;
In a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common;
This is my symphony.
William Henry Channing
