Rather than love, than money, than fame , give me truth.
Henry David Thoreau
Hmm! I now know what Thoreau meant by "with a success unexpected in common hours" . He meant that his success, possibly the success we are all destined for if we would only allow such a success, was in discovering the truth of what this life experience is all about; about what is truly important, and what isn't; about who we are etc. In common hours...when we are busy tramping around the busy world in an attempt to satisfy an unquenchable "me"...we will not discover that truth.
Hmm! I often longed to do what Thoreau did...go out to a cabin in the woods and just "be" for awhile.
All is well.
