Another thought from William Penn’s Fruits of Solitude:
Have but little to do, and do it thy self: And do to others as thou wouldest have them do to thee: so thou canst not fail of Temporal Felicity.
I love William Penn, I really do.
Here’s a further observation from Fruits of Solitude:
Avoid Company where it is not profitable or necessary; and in those Occasions speak little, and last.
Oh, friends, both these thoughts are such wisdom, such excellent counsel! It is as though he reached a quiet hand through time flown by and touched lightly on our lives, left a smile.
How may I engrave these words on my heart?

A headband. I think I must have had it for some time when I was growing out a fringe. Or as an alternative hatband. Whatever. I never wore it.
