Above and Beyond...

from Thoreau:

“Do not be too moral. You might cheat yourself out of much of life. Aim high above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.”


Yes.

Although I was raised in a home that prized integrity above just about everything, this quote resonates with me. Love in action. Making a difference.
Appreciation of beauty. These things exist beyond the plane of simple morality. Beyond right or wrong... to intensity and passion, where we really live.
