    “Don't wish me happiness
    I don't expect to be happy all the time...

    “I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable.”

    “This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”

    Anne Morrow Lindbergh
    “It is the wilderness in
    the mind, the desert wastes in the heart through which one wanders lost and a stranger. When one is a
    stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one
    cannot touch others.”
    Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

    Anne Morrow Lindbergh
    “A good relationship has a pattern like a dance and is built on some of the same rules. The partners
    do not need to hold on tightly, because they move confidently in the same pattern, intricate but gay
    and swift and free, like a country dance of Mozart’s. To touch heavily would be to arrest the pattern
    and freeze the movement, to check the endlessly changing beauty of its unfolding. There is no place
    here for the possessive clutch, the clinging arm, the heavy hand; only the barest touch in passing. Now
    arm in arm, now face to face, now back to back—it does not matter which. Because they know they
    are partners moving to the same rhythm, creating a pattern together, and being invisibly nourished by
    it.”
    Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
