Mostly the ebb and flow of life. I’m feeling rather introspective today thanks to a good heart-to-heart with a dear friend last night. We both seem to be at a place where we need to take a look in the mirror and then give ourselves a good kick in the ass.
I’m going to leave this here for anyone else who might need it....
“We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid that it will never return.
We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity…
Intermittency—an impossible lesson for human beings to learn…
Perhaps this is the most important thing: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid….
One must accept the security of ebb and flow, of intermittency.”
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
