David Whyte is my hero… feeling all the more poignant today. To 2021, a year of growth and maturity ;) xx “Maturity is the ability to live fully and equally in multiple contexts, most especially the ability, despite our many griefs and losses, to courageously inhabit the past, the present and the future all at once… Maturity is the breakdown of elemental frontiers; between different epochs of our life, between life and death, between the part of us that has been a fine, upstanding citizen and the darker, helpless parts of us that have caused harm and damage. Maturity is the time when these tidal forces meet and break apart our life, making one life out of our regrets, our self compassion, and our forgiveness forged into a future made real by a radical change in our behaviors… Maturity beckons us also, asking us to be larger, more fluid, more elemental, less cornered, less unilateral; a living, conversational intuition between the inherited story, the one we are privileged to inhabit, and the one – if we are large enough and broad enough, moveable enough and, even, here enough – just, astonishingly, about to occur.” Beautiful photo by @argylestreetstudio Direction by @anamundistudio Flowers by moi :)
