A song every day

The meaning of existence is experienced in moments of exaltation. Man must strive for the summit in order to survive on the ground... his ends must surpass his needs. The security of existence lies in the exaltation of existence. This is one of the rewards of being human: quiet exaltation, capability for celebration. It is expressed in a phrase which Rabbi Akiba offered to his disciples:
A song every day,
A song every day.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
