The Thoreau quotation was a guide for me when I wanted to change my life, and although my pond is a moat and I've not yet managed to leave myself behind, I'm getting there slowly.<br />DxOmnia mutanturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398342216269820004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-43992710935404177462013-09-14T18:40:04.883+01:002013-09-14T18:40:04.883+01:00You've made me cry... but not in a bad way.

I'm always interested by the fact that when some people die they are said to have 'lived life to the full', and that what is meant by this is that they have done lots of stuff. Surely you can live a full life, if by that we mean rich in the quality of everyday experience and being, having done, on the external level, very little. Thoreau wrote in his journals:<br /><br />"I want to go soon and live away by the pond, where I shall here only the wind whispering among the reeds. It will be a success if I shall have left myself behind. But my friends ask what I will do when I get there. will it not be employment enough to watch the progress of the seasons?"<br /><br />Not to mention the fact that I sometimes think that people who cram their lives with lots of activity do so in order to never be alone with themselves. That underneath the 'living life to the full' is just 'panic and emptiness'. (Not that I'm suggesting that's you Linda!) <br /><br />So Linda, watch the changing of the seasons, cook, do the washing up, and carry on blogging about what it is to be! Saturday morning sermon over.<br /><br />A few years ago I saw a documentary about James Ravilious and they interviewed the woman in the photo, just the same, greyer and equally smiley.<br /><br />DxOmnia mutanturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398342216269820004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-34129728712271123002013-09-14T08:32:34.920+01:002013-09-14T08:32:34.920+01:00Thanks Debs, there is one fly in the ointment... t...Thanks Debs, there is one fly in the ointment... the trouble is you feel frigging GUILTY and not a little bored.
