the best things


this sign is placed by the road leading to whiteman/caversham park in perth. as this message is often repeated elsewhere, there must be some truth in those words, although there is no indication what these "best things" are. however, i think this version by robert louis stevenson is more definitive...

The best things are nearest:
breath in your nostrils,

light in your eyes,

flowers at your feet,

duties at your hand,

the path of God just before you.


even so, are we prepared to take on that journey?

**thanks, Yan, for the message**
