Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed destroys its container, or else there would be no fruition.

~ Florida Scott-Maxwell

You need only claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality. When at last age has assembled you together, will it not be easy to let it all go, lived, balanced, over?

...[T]here are days when emptiness is spacious, and non-existence elevating.

~ Florida Scott-Maxwell

I admire a contented mind. I revere enjoyment of the simple things. I can imagine that contentment has a high degree of truth. But the human tendency is to take good as normal, and one's natural right, and so no cause for satisfaction and pleasure. This is accompanied by the habit of regarding bad as abnormal and a personal outrage.
