“Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.”
― Lao Tzu
Bursts as a wave that from the clouds impends, And swell’d with tempests on the ship descends; White are the decks with foam; the winds aloud Howl o’er the masts, and sing through every shroud: Pale, trembling, tir’d, the sailors freeze with fears; And instant death on every wave appears.
Homer (“Smyrns of Chios”) Quotes , Source: The Iliad
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
~Austrian Christmas Lullaby
