"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."
Anais Nin
I like how this quote brings together the nature of our lives; and the notion of a unique book for each person's life.
I love the idea of an individual plot for my life; and it is so true isn't it that each and every one of our lives is a unique and individual story? A tale told only by us; and never repeated. That's a lot of books!
Perhaps lives can be written - as we actively make stories of our days, our plans and our futures; but perhaps we never know the ending until we get to it, and turn that last page.
I think I'd like my book to be a purple and part of a rainbow stack like one of these!

ReplyDeletePerhaps and very possibly!
DeleteI think I'd like my book to be found in the Health and Wellbeing section but suspect I might be somewhere else!
