Leaving behind the self you once were is the shredding of the old
for you have outgrown who you once were in your skin.
Out of all this, is born the raw, real,
and unfinished self who is on the journey of becoming.
When the seasons lose their old selves just as winter turns to spring
with the moments tenderly unfolding just as dawn heralds the end of the night.
― Jayita Bhattacharjee

Have you also learned that secret from the river;
that there is no such thing as time?
That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth,
at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains,
everywhere and that the present only exists for it,
not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Two vintage fashion hstory illustrations from 1904. In the first, three Edwardian ladies are resting and conversing after they have enjoyed a promenade by the river. In the background, you can see some houses on the other side of the riverbank, and there is also a little row boat gliding by. The top border of the picture is decorated with fancy floral embellishments.

In the second drawing, a trio of ladies in Belle Époque winter capes and coats are out for a walk along the waterfront of a picturesque town. A bridge and a small tower, with a few barges moving along the river can be spotted in the scene behind them.

These black and white engravings are from my personal collection of antique La Mode Illustrée magazines.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience
in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself,
"I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

A quiet secluded life in the country,
with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good,

then work which one hopes may be of some use;
then rest, nature, books, music,
love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.

"But you have said it too often, Mr. Benedict!" said Mrs. Perumal
in an imperious tone that was quite out of character.

I'm afraid we'll be compelled to cut our visit short.
Surely there are other establishments that would host an entire troup of guests - indefinitely and without reward - and not feel obliged to apologize for it!"
