Today’s words juxtapose the profound and the everyday imagination of Mark Twain.

I. You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

 

II. One of my sorrows, when the summer ends, is that I must put off my cheery and comfortable white clothes and enter for the winter into the depressing captivity of the shapeless and degrading black ones. It is mid-October now, and the weather is growing cold up here in the New Hampshire hills, but it will not succeed in freezing me out of these white garments, for here the neighbors are few, and it is only of crowds that I am afraid.

    A proper wardrobe may be one in which there are elements of black and white. The cheery may blend with the dreary. A balance is preferable in life, moderation in all things. Diversity brings strength. Cheerfulness and joy are essential. We are pleased to share goodness and pleasure with those around us. Allowing such joy helps combat depression. Seriousness, on the other hand, aids in contemplating life’s problems and challenges, and moving to correct them. We mature with these; we grow and are flexible to confront that which is hard with both. Joy gives rest and comfort–even as it helps fight life’s ills. Determination is another weapon with which to meet life’s battles. With mental space for a range of emotions, we are psychologically agile and able to act.
