gifts from the sea
"One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach---waiting for a gift from the sea.."
"But it must not be sought for- or heaven forbid! dug for. No no dredging of the sea bottom here. That would defeat one's purpose. The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh from "Gift from the Sea" written 1955 |
