Transcript:
Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things... it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. -Henry David Thoreau
Bravo! I hike in the high country (with a broad brimmed hat!) stalking beautiful photo ops & the magic of Nature. It is my joy, spiritual practice, and therapy, so this strip seemed particularly apropos, with its ‘yin’ spin (as opposed to the “CARPE DIEM!!” approach, equally valid, of your previous strips…. My only contention is, I can’t read who the quote is from! … Have a wonderful holiday season, Gavin Than — you are a breath of fresh air and wonderful provacativeness in this genre! Keep up the great work! Warmly, Chrystos Minot
