“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
― Thomas Merton

Thunder and sunshine
cool breezes
sizzling heat
damp toes
muddy fingers
a moment alone
with your natural self
Narcissisus and Echo
damselflies teasing
deep diving beetles
in a pond

Beautiful and wise words, thank you 🙂

That’s a great idea! I’ve taken to writing quotes I want to contemplate on the bathroom wall like graffiti 🙂
