“No one realises how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.”
– Lin Yutang
This Is Just To Say
“Time is a storm in which we are all lost. Only inside the convolutions of the storm itself shall we find our directions.”
William Carlos Williams said it well when he compared time to a chaotic force to be reckoned with. With the eye reputedly it’s calmest point, and convolutions of the storm far more testing, it is easy to see why he believed it is in these convolutions, or difficult times, that we are shaped, and emerge with a sense of direction.
For each person ‘convolutions of the storm’ will appear in different sizes and on different occasions; alas, it is that time of year again where I find myself facing some of mine.
