calm & usefulness
Went to the art gallery on the weekend and saw a great exhibition of religions of the world - B&W photographs by a German artist. It was beautiful, touching, inspiring. Some of the photos were so amazing, these close ups of smiling faces that just shon with humour and patience and humility. I almost cried. There were quotes too, from the subjects. I'll leave you with these two, two of my favourites:

'Vanish! Cease to exist! Love is finding your path' - whirling dervish, Turkey

'Breathe in calm, breathe out usefulness' - Buddhist nun, India
