Lightly child, lightly.

The aura around each thing.
Respect it – Pause a moment – before you grasp something.

~ Susan Sontag, “2/8/79” in As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980

  1. This is getting scary! (in a good way) 😉
    Yesterday, a very ‘connected’ friend spoke to me about my ‘huge aura’…..
    Have a good, good day, will you?!

  2. Dare I say that 1stly, I don’t know enough about and on Susan Sontag and 2ndly, she always scares me slightly…. Sometimes I don’t want to learn too much about somebody/something because I’m afraid of what I would learn….
