Midlife Maze Quotes

“Imagine the everyday occurrence where you meet one basic need, only to find that the next need follows immediately. Think of a waterfall. I watched in wonder as I witnessed one waterfall after another from a train window in beautiful Norway. There was no end to those tiny water droplets. They just kept falling. In fact, everyone’s basic needs seem like a waterfall that just keeps cascading, spilling one need after another, especially when you live with other people and have their needs to consider along with your own.”
― Janis Clark Johnston, Midlife Maze: A Map to Recovery and Rediscovery after Loss
