“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, “This is what it is to be happy.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
We’re in the world, not against it. It doesn’t work to try to stand outside things and run them, that way. It just doesn’t work, it goes against life. There is a way but you have to follow it. The world is, no matter how we think it ought to be. You have to be with it. You have to let it be.
i adore life. what do all the fools matter and all the stupidity. they do matter but somehow for me they cannot touch the body of life. life is marvellous. i want to be deeply rooted in it - to live - to expand - to breathe in it - to rejoice - to share it. to give and to be asked for love.
