Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 4) Thoughts Worth Thinking: "What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by
the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but
what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his
employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we
know, so we are."
Ralph Waldo Emerson 5) About Richard J. Geib: What else about me? I am a lover of books and reading and
writing perhaps more than anything else; there is no holier
place in the world for me than a bookstore. I believe in
manners and in being a gentleman until given no other
alternative. I believe in the common man in the Walt
Whitman sense who is a comrade of all free men and
women "who shake hands and welcome to drink and meat." ("a
learner with the simplest, a teacher of the
thoughtfullest"). I think that no matter who you are or
what you do you should strive to be the best - or at least
do the best you can do (it is the school teacher in me, I
guess). I truly think mankind is an irreparably fallen
creature, but I am continually amazed at the kind and
generous individuals I meet in this world (both online and
off). 6) Welcome to the Ventura River and Ojai Valley Community: One Man\'s Retreat from the City to the Country: .....I have obviously thought all this out, in the hopes
that one can improve one's circumstances through patient
planning. Not five years ago I was an overwhelmed
beginning teaching in the ghetto and could hardly have been
more miserable. If I currently enjoy a modicum of
happiness, I flatter myself in believing I have earned it.
Why not be happy? Like Horace in his Epistles I hope
to "walk in silence through the healthy woods, pondering
questions worthy of the good and wise." (Tacitum sylvas
inter reptare salubres, / Curantem quidquid dignum sapiente
bonoque est.) I look to live in Ojai not as a hermit yet
with detachment, in a spiritual withdrawal where I can more
easily adjust where the outside world ends and my interior
life and ease of mind begins..... |
