My work life balance is a little off kilter as of late.. all the staring at a screen has left me with little energy to write for the fun of it. Reminds me of the decade I spent at a desk booking bands, before I knew I wanted to cook for a living. It has me reflecting a lot. Thinking about how incredibly different and yet very much the same I am all these years later. This Anias Nin quote came to mind..
“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one way, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backwards and forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells and constellations.”
Beautiful. I would love to have had breakfast with her.
