will be wept.”

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days. Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…to throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…”

— Aldous Huxley, Island

Who cares about the crowded, broad road? I’ll walk the single-plank bridge into the night.

“If you are a giver & you have a big heart, to be truly happy in life, you must learn when to let go. Naturally, you’re going to care when you shouldn’t, you’re going to stay longer than you should, & you’re going to give when you have nothing. Know when to stop and let things be.” —Sylvester McNutt III #ThingsItTakesAWhileToUnderstand
