–Juan Ramón Jiménez, from “Lightness” in The Selected Writings of Juan Ramon

- Post Title & Inspiration: Aldous Huxley: “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.”
Beautiful indeed. Thank you David 💛
