One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.
- Loneliness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
- Flowers

- Looking Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
- Giving
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.
- Miracles
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
- New

Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
How one hates to think of oneself as alone. How one avoids it. It seems to imply rejection or unpopularity.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid.
- Contemplative
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relationships with their myriad pulls - women's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life.
