“What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.”
(Anais Nin, from Henry and June)
Some people do have a way with words, don't they? Whew!
I'll have some of whatever she's having, right?
It would be sweet, if we could save our happiness, and wallow in it, wrapped in silk and lace.. But alas, it's impossible. We have to take it as it comes, and savor it while it lasts - like a peach that is just at that perfect peak of ripeness. You can't save it for Friday, you have to enjoy it now or lose it forever..
Flowers bloom when they are ready to bloom.. Children grow regardless of whether you have the time to watch them or not.. The sunset dims and the moon sets on their own immutable timetables.. The trick is to be willing to stop what you're doing, and enjoy them while you can..
