"She did not talk to
people
as if they were
strange
hard shells she had to
crack open to get inside.
She talked as if
she were already
in the shell. "
Marita Bonner
"One thing life has taught me:
if you are interested,
you never have to look
for new interests.
They come to you.
When you are genuinely
interested
in one thing,
it will always lead
to something
else."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"The great thing
is to be saturated
with something-
-that is,
in one way
or another, with life;
and I chose the form
of my saturation."
Henry James

Thanks for visiting!
Warmly, cloudia
You're up and walkin' around town early enough to see the sprinklers going! Is that a baby pomegranate opening up too early?

pretty cool that first quote...allowing yourself to go inside their shell and relate to people that way...i try to do that...

ReplyDeleteOne thing really does lead to another. I've always noticed that.
