Grey sky start to this morning. Yesterday evening clear sky and the stars were shining with the moon. "Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." ~ Lau Tzu

"The sea! For each of us, moreover, it represents something different: the incessant struggle of mind and body against the elements; the search for adventure; the desire for magnificent solitude ..." Marthe Oulié, Quand J'Était Matelot #Photography #EllaMaillart #Sailing #PhotographersOfBlueSky

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing & appreciating what we do have." ~Frederick Keonig~ Living in gratitude, is always a good place to be. Last night’s beautiful moon and stars…Happy Friday, everyone.🦋

Her quote you share supports this exact frame of mind: "Unarguably, too, there is much that might produce the wrong kind of rise in Nin’s erotica – in particular, she presents scenes of pederasty not only without moral judgment, but with a sympathetic, kindly attitude towards her paedophiles."

Feel the need to request that everyone please stop quoting Anais Nin as she was psychotic & made horrid choices 😅 look it up if you don't know. Sick to my stomach when I see her name, her messages are not unique, there are many other poets writers etc who share the same messages in different words.

Her beautifully phrased comments are now, in summation, frighteningly accurate of life in the 21st century. Biologist, conservationist and writer Rachel Carson was born on 27 May 1907.
