“Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally.
Make it the object of manic-like pursuit,
– it leads us only a wild chase, and is almost never attained.
Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that
we have caught happiness without dreaming of it”
*Nathaniel Hawthorne – american author*

Glad you enjoyed these views. 🙂
I did, especially the one where the goose flies
Geese and swans too – they have such majestic takeoffs and landings. 🙂
