It’s interesting how the quotes I send out in my newsletter sometimes impact people. The following two sentences written by Carl Jung reminded my friend, Isabel Osth, of a time just before the death of a dear family member:
“We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgment of the intellect is only part of the truth.”
This is a poem Isabel wrote at the time, echoing Jung’s words:
The winds of change will blow
And unknown ways will open
For us to wander on
Leaving behind so much
We’d love to take with us,
But won’t.
For blowing winds will challenge
Our hearts and minds alike
As we discover knowing
Less as we go
Along.
With open eyes, awakened
By life as it unfolds
We keep going, going
On the long, mysterious road
To that
Not to be named,
Or touched,
Or owned.
Beautiful, Isabel. Thank you so much for sharing that.
