“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. 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
A couple of weeks ago, while perusing Instagram (okay, stalking people on Instagram) I came across these beautiful words. It was a post from Literally, Darling (check them out) and it stayed with me. Since that day, around two weeks ago, I have read that quote several times. My inner being is twisted, molded, and changed every time. To some, a photograph may be worth a thousand words. But for me? Always go with words (preferably handwritten words). I must harbor an old soul.
Today, on this Friday the 16th, in all of your actions, I ask of you, tread lightly. And, when you feel lost, with little hope to guide your way, read this quote again. You will not be disappointed. Your mind and body will crave the lightness. Sooner or later, you will find yourself coming out of your old shell feeling light and renewed.
Change, it does wonders to you. So, this weekend, make a conscious effort to do all things lightly. Happy Friday. Above all, happy weekend.
xoxo
