John Burroughs - Look Under Foot
The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is "Look under foot." You are always nearer to the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.
Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.
John Burroughs
