“When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity—in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
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 was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits—islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.” ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea #giftfromthesea #books #reading #annemorrowlindbergh #isakdinesen #thesea #thingsiwouldliketodowithyou #love #relationships #saltwater #beach #swimming #sweat #tears #maitri ⚓️ For more, read “Maitri,” the most important read you'll read this year: elephantjournal.com #pemachodron #buddhism Get our best, free: elephantjournal.com/best Support our mission, read unlimited: elephantjournal.com/read
‘...และฉันเองก็ไม่ได้อยากทำเช่นนั้น ทางออกสำหรับฉันจึงไม่ใช่ทั้งการละทิ้งโลกไปโดยสิ้นเชิงหรือการยอมรับโลกอย่างที่มันเป็นทั้งหมด ฉันต้องหาสมดุลที่ไหนซักแห่ง หาจังหวะกึ่งกลางระหว่างขั้วตรงข้ามทั้งสอง ระหว่างความสันโดษกับการเข้าสังคม ระหว่างการปลีกวิเวกกับการคืนสู่โลก บางทีในช่วงที่กำลังปลีกวิเวกอยู่นี้ ฉันอาจได้เรียนรู้บางอย่าง แล้วนำกลับไปใช้ชีวิตในโลกปกติ ฉันสามารถตามเงื่อนงำผิวเผินนี้ไปก่อนและคอยดูว่ามันจะนำพาฉันไปสู่แห่งหนใด...’ #giftfromthesea #annmorrowlindbergh
Be there for others—but remember to give yourself space. If you can take care of yourself, you can then be of great benefit. Take a break, if only for a full inbreath and outbreath. ~ @waylonlewis

“I find I am shedding hypocrisy in human relationships. What a rest that will be! The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere. That is why so much of social life is exhausting; one is wearing a mask. I have shed my mask.” ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh, A Gift from the Sea. One of my most favorite books & book gifts & recommendations: find it in a used bookstore, boycott Amazon!

Found this interesting glass ring ⭕ on my last visit to the beach (which feels like forever!!). It is not a bottle mouth. It has this stripy texture on both sides. .
