That’s a line from the book The Feast of Love. I originally read it a few years ago and I re-read it this past weekend. It’s fascinating how much your perspective can change. That’s why I love re-reading a good book. It’s a great way to really stop and make note of how much I’ve changed– the way I think, the way I feel. Different passages and characters resonate with me this time around.
More than anything, I realize how much more alive I am. I’ve finally learned how to savor the present. I’ve stopped berating myself for the past (mistakes? yeah, I’ve made my share.) and I don’t fret so much about the future.
“As my mother once said to me, ‘They’re quite crazy, dear – men are. What you look for is one of them whose insanity is large enough, and calm and generous enough, to include you.” -Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love
