The loneliness you get by the sea.....

The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. 

It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. 

It's stimulating loneliness.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Arranging a bowl of flowers.....

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning

 can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - 

like writing a poem or saying a prayer.

~~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
