What you call bareness and poverty is to me simpicity. GOd could not be unkind to me if he should try. I hae never got over my suprise that I should have been born into the most estimable place in all the world, and in the very nick of time, too.
I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is suprising how contented one can be with nothing definite- only a sense of existence. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. NO run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.

How can any man be weak who dares to be at all?
