your daily rock : love your layers
It’s interesting to think about our lives as layers, strata of emotion and body and events, like the cut-open side of a mountain where we can see the different colors of earth, each building upon the one below, the one inside.
While we might prefer to hate or get rid of or deny some layers, they are vital to the whole, keeping the cake from collapsing, the mountain from crumbling.
As Anais Nin said, “We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
Love all those layers.
Love,
