"Life is a Train of Moods..."

"Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and as we pass through them they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus" Ralph waldo Emerson

He makes it sound like a pleasant trip going through all those moods and maybe that should be our goal...to try to find the best there is in the moods that are not too depressed or anxious. But, of course, that sounds good in theory when one is perched one level above elevated mood and things are looking positive. There is something of a truth though about each mood painting the world its own hue and showing only what lies in its focus. I wonder if Mr. Emerson was one of us.
