"We prize them for their rough-plastic, abstergent force; to get people out of the quadruped state; to get them washed, clothed, and set up on end; to slough their animal husks and habits; compel them to be clean; overawe their spite and meanness, teach them to stifle the base, and choose the generous expression, and make them know how much happier the generous behaviors are.'' -Ralph Waldo Emerson ("Conduct of Life"), as quoted at Thesaurus.com.
Ralph Waldo's words inspire me to create a more abstergent inner aura as I center myself in this new day, full of promise, adventure and service.
