Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed to be simple is to be great

Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed to be simple is to be great, yet always it astonishes because matter, appetite, and individuality always exist & rule from the earth upward six feet. Or hat high.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

    To keep Calm- breathing in and out- take everything you have as greatness. We are the most magnificent already just being alive.There is another level beyond the physical but pushing back from the physical requires a sense that is not brought to us in books. Nature tries to explain it. Thank you All.
