One Must be Blind to See
“There is no complete life. There are only fragments. We are born to have nothing, to have it pour through our hands. And yet, this pouring, this flood of encounters, struggles, dreams… one must be unthinking, like a tortoise. One must be resolute, blind. For whatever we do, even whatever we do not do prevents us from doing the opposite. Acts demolish their alternatives, that is the paradox.”
~~James Salter
Don't give yourself a headache; just smile and move on with your day. It'll revisit itself and settle in. I love you. ~~GH
