The fact is, my sweet, every mother spends her time, so soon as her children are out of her sight, in imagining dangers for them. Perhaps it is Armand seizing the razors to play with, or his coat taking fire, or a snake biting him, or he might tumble in running and start and absess on his head, or he might drown himself in a pond. A mother’s life, you see, is one long succession of dramas, now soft and tender, now terrible. Not an hour but has its joys and fears.
[En effet, mon ange, durant le jour, toutes les mères inventent des dangers. Dès que les enfants ne sont plus sous leurs yeux, c’est des rasoirs volés avec lesquels Armand a voulu jouer, le feu qui prend à sa jaquette, un orvet qui peut le mordre, une chute en courant qui peut faire un dépôt à la tête, ou les bassins où il peut se noyer. Comme tu le vois, la maternité comporte une suite de poésies douces ou terribles. Pas une heure qui n’ait ses joies et ses craintes.]
Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) French novelist, playwright
Letters of Two Brides [Mémoires de deux jeunes mariées], Part 1, letter 45 (1840) [tr. Scott (1897)]

A quotation from George Bernard Shaw
The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation, because occupation means pre-occupation; and the pre-occupied person is neither happy nor unhappy, but simply alive and active, which is pleasanter than any happiness until you are tired of it.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
Treatise on Parents and Children, “Children’s Happiness” (1914)

There are days when you just need the grey dullness. When things you had a grasp on decided to pile on.
Last week on this job, because next week starting a new. And then going on a solo trip which stresses me the fuck out.
So took some walks and let the thoughts, the feelings, the clumps bubble up. To deal with them. To let them be present. To allow me to choose what precipice to fall off.
Without the grey gloomy dullness colours cannot sparkle.

A quotation from Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Poem (1968-11), “The Peace of Wild Things,” Green River Review, Vol. 1, No. 1

There was a stag, once, who could always defeat a stallion
And drive him out of their pasture — until, tired of losing,
The horse begged help of man, and got a bridle in return.
He beat the stag, all right, and he laughed — but then the rider
Stayed on his back, and the bit stayed in his mouth.
Give up your freedom, more worried about poverty than something
Greater than any sum of gold, and become a slave and stay
A slave forever, unable to live on only enough.
[Cervus equum pugna melior communibus herbis
pellebat, donec minor in certamine longo
imploravit opes hominis frenumque recepit;
sed postquam victor violins discessit ab hoste,
non equitem dorso, non frenum depulit ore.
Sic qui pauperiem veritus potiore metallis
libertate caret, dominum vehet improbus atque
serviet aeternum, quia parvo nesciet uti.]
Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 10 “To Aristius Fuscus,” l. 34ff (1.10.34-41) (20 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]

Hills and Problems
When you set out walking, you inevitably come to hills. You climb one, no big deal—but sure enough, there’s always another waiting on the other side.
That’s life.
We face problems. Some loom larger than others, demanding our attention. We fixate on the one that feels most urgent, believing that solving it will lift a great weight off our shoulders. And it does—briefly. But that’s the thing about problems: solve one, and another steps up to take its place. It’s like reaching the top of a hill only to find another rising beyond it.
So what do you do?
You keep walking. You face the next hill. The world doesn’t pause for our troubles—we all carry them. It’s just that our own burdens often feel heavier than they truly are. So take a breath. It’s not the end of the world.
Remember how you felt when you were young. We had problems then too, but somehow we were better at keeping them in their place. We compartmentalized. Our troubles stayed in their box while joy, curiosity, and play lived in others. We dealt with what needed dealing, then moved on. We didn’t let worry steal every moment.
Learn to do that again. Learn to stop worrying.

“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” — Joseph Campbell
