true luxury is waking up to peace.
with a calm spirit, in a home with harmony, and the space to feel it all not only within yourself, but in the space surrounding you.
people who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception. a real decision makes one humble, one knows that it is at the mercy of more things..
