We become like a still lake of purest crystal, and without an effort our depths are revealed to themselves.

"We become like a still lake of purest crystal and without an effort our depths are revealed to ourselves.  All the world goes by us and is reflected in our deeps.  Such clarity!  Obtained by such pure means!  By simple living - by honesty of purpose - we live and rejoice."

Henry David Thoreau
