Miscellany from the Palazzo

While on vacation, I've been enjoying this book.  I've jotted down several lines from it in my journal, so it's taking me longer to finish than it "should".  I hope to finish it before arriving home today.  (It's laying on a scarf I found at a thrift store on Thursday...)  Here are a few of the shorter lines that stood out to me:

• It's wonderful, Chou; nothing matches, so everything does.
• The less there is, the more important all of it becomes.
• I made it better without changing the things that were best about it.
• People need to be together as much as they need to eat.
• I'd set out to be delighted.  For if I, myself, were not delighted, what delight would I have to give?

I just may have to expand a bit on that last one!
It became my vacation "mantra" and served me well.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
