" The dream
was always running
ahead of me.
To catch up,
to live for a moment
in unison with it,
that was the miracle. "
Anais Nin
" If a man insisted
always on being serious,
and never allowed himself
a bit of fun and relaxation,
he would go mad
or become unstable
without knowing it."
Herodotus
" We ought to see
far enough into a hypocrite
to see even his
sincerity. "
G.K. CHESTERTON
Heretics
" Despise not any man,
and do not spurn anything;
for there is no man
who has not his hour,
nor is there anything
that has not its place. "

Yeah, Herodotus knew what he was talking about!
ReplyDeletethe hypocrite one is interesting.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I'm thinking we're all "seriously silly" around here, and that's a wonderful way to be. I'm a fan of Anais Nin and Henry and June is one of my favorite movies still to watch.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThe photos of the flowers seem to be the thinning petals of the shower tree blooms, maybe? DrumMajor
