Quote of the Day (Dag Hammarskjold, on the Surface “Life of Simplicity”)


“In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way. Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable."-- Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dag Hammarskjold, Markings
