Spend the afternoon, you can't take it with you. - Annie Dillard

It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave.

It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted in pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. What you see is what you get.
