Contents:
On life and living : you have to live life to the limit -- On being with others : to be a part, that is fulfillment for us -- On work : get up cheerfully on days you have to work -- On difficulty and adversity : the measure by which we may know our strength -- On childhood and education : this joy in daily discovery -- On nature : it knows nothing of us -- On solitude : the loneliest people above all contribute most to commonality -- On illness and recovery : pain tolerates no interpretation -- On loss, dying, and death : even time does not "console" ... it puts things in their place and creates order -- On language : that vast, humming, and swinging syntax -- On art : art presents itself as a way of life -- On faith : a direction of the heart -- On goodness and morality : nothing good, once it has come into existence, may be suppressed -- On love : there is no force in the world but love.
