Lightly my darling...

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. 

Lightly child, lightly.

Learn to do everything lightly. 

Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. 

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. 

I was so preposterously serious in those days...

Lightly, lightly--it's the best advice ever given me...

to throw away your baggage and go forward. 

There are quick sands all about you, sucking at your feet,

trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. 

That's why you must walk so lightly. 

Lightly my darling..."

~Aldous Huxley, Island

My precious sister Susan sent me this months ago,

and as I read it today,

it is once again right on time.

I love you, Susu ~ Sister
