I’m in the middle of decorating my home and decking the walls with artwork and poems (obviously) and this quote by Aldous Huxley makes my heart want to explode! It’s one-hundred-percent going on my wall.
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. I was so preposterously serious in those days… Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given to me…So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…
- Aldous Huxley, Island
