These are beautiful Bethie…thanks for bringing them all together. I’m a big fan of Anais, I’ve read many of her diaries…but there were some quotes here I’d never heard.

I too really like “music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.” I think it would make the perfect T-shirt for a dead show :-)

They are wonderful aren’t they…I melted when I read: music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together. I also adore the acceptance of it all in the postpone death quote. Ok, I love them all, too, cuz I handpicked each one to showcase here. Thanks for flowing appreciation Laurie! xoBeth

OMG how DELICIOUS are these!!! Thanks for posting, Bethie. I particularly like:

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through.”

And this…

“joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.”

And this…

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.”

Oh, heck, I love them all!:)
