You couldn't just pick and choose at will
when someone depended on you,
or loved you.
It wasn't like a light switch,
easy to turn on or off.
If you were in, you were in.
Out, you were out.
Sarah Dessen
Strange how complicated
we can make things just
to avoid showing
what we feel!
Erich Maria Remarque
“It is not so long ago that a member of the Diplomatic Body in London, who had spent some years of his service in China, told me that there was a Chinese curse which took the form of saying, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ There is no doubt that the curse has fallen on us.”
“We move from one crisis to another. We suffer one disturbance and shock after another.”
Sir Austen Chamberlain,
addressing the annual meeting of Birmingham Unionist Association
March, 1936
The most complicated skill
is to be simple.

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free... (At least our lives are never boring in interesting times.)
Tis our gift to come down where we ought to be. ♥️
That curse has always struck me as particularly vicious.
Wonderful shots and quotes.
An interesting post. I am becoming more & more frustrated with technology and fondly remember days with a landline, regular letters in the mailbox etc. There seemed to be so much less stress when things were simple.
We certainly do live in interesting times Cloudia 💙
