Sarah Carter Instagram – Floating thoughts and unexpected encouragements…
“But what does it really mean to be oneself when the self is an ever-moving target of ever-changing sentiments and cells, a figment of fixity to dam the fluidity that carries us along the river of life, to soften the hard fact that we never fully know who we are because we are never one thing long enough. “The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion,” Iris Murdoch insisted in her magnificent case for unselfing, and yet we do live out our entire lives in it — the self is our sieve for reality, the sensory organ through which we experience love and politics and the color blue. How to inhabit it with authenticity but without attachment might be the great task of being alive.“
Thank you for your Sunday musings @mariapopova and for ‘When Women Were Birds’ the novel that keeps on giving @evan1mack… and for playing and seeing and knowing and not knowing @adampetrishin… and for putting up with my whims…
I hope we can all remember tomorrow is a new day, dreams really do come true, and nothing will last forever.
