The new me is trying to find balance between ongoing responsibilities and interests and important new interests such as environmental issues, art and self-expression (both visually and in writing), the need to begin to travel again and document it for the first time, and whatever burning interest I may discover tomorrow.
Today I am pondering the following quote:
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion;
It is easy in solitude to live after our own;
But the great (wo)man is (s)he who
in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
