Do not be whirled about, but in every movement have respect to justice, and on the occasion of every impression maintain the faculty of comprehension or understanding.Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early nor too late, which is in due time for thee. Everything is fruit to me which thy seasons bring, O Nature: from thee are all things, in thee are all things, to thee all things return. The poet says, Dear city of Cecrops; and wilt not thou say, Dear city of Zeus?
2. I looked at the moon through binoculars after coming back from a walk after dinner. It was completely gorgeous. I saw the Sea of Tranquility, the Sea of Serenity, and several others I forget the names of. I had to look at a map, of course, to see which ones were which. It would be nice to remember them, and having their names in your head, to feel a sense of familiarity when you look at them from time to time, your old friends on the moon.
3. Christianity is the only game in town, so I went to church today. There was beautiful song by Mozart called Laudate Dominum. I think this means "praise god", with "laudate" being the verb "to praise" in the imperative, and "dominum" being the Latin word for god in the accusative case.
4. I made little bouquets of dandelions for my parents.
