A week or so ago I lost this sternum strap for my Helikon Tex Bergen pack. I am so grateful I found it on the trails today! #helikontex #backpack #goodluck #wilkolaak #wilokłaak

A Chinese blogger shares that magpies or swallows nesting in homes are seen as signs of good luck, wealth, and family harmony in traditional folklore. Scientifically, it may simply mean the environment is clean and quiet. Yet many still cherish the cultural symbolism of joy and prosperity. 🐦🏠✨

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-05-26), The Idler, No. 58

I had been looking for a 4-leaf clover my whole life... and finally found my first last month.

Then I found my second yesterday.

My 5-year-old remarked: "I will find a 5-leaf and a 6-leaf clover." I replied to her: "I don't think they exist, I never heard of them."

Today, in my late grandparents' garden I found a 5-leaf clover. I am simply speechless...

WIST Quotations Apr 22

A quotation from Gracián

The intensity of the favour of fortune is often balanced by the shortness of its duration, for fortune gets tired of carrying any one very long upon her shoulders.

[Recompénsase tal vez la brevedad de la duración con la intensión del favor. Cánsase la fortuna de llevar a uno a cuestas tan a la larga.]

Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 38 (1647) [tr. Duff (1877)]
