Holiday

In some ways like 'Summer Spirit' but portraying more of the joy and zest and expansion of awareness that can come with the true spirit of holiday in which many poetic elements of beauty are mixed together and concentrated into moments of splendour.

As we all know, these moments come to us in unpredictable ways and not always in settings of this sort. We also know that it is unlikely that we will be able to repeat them just as we would like.

We can return to the same place and try to reproduce the same physical situation again, yet nothing will happen. We must therefore cherish such moments and value them deeply; in so doing we are more likely to extract the content of them, after which we may well be blessed with another experi- ence. But if we don't take the trouble to work on the first experience, we can understand it would be bad for us to get others gratuitously, for it would weaken our ability to generate our own strength and endeavour.
