Summary

This quote is a reminder that the true pursuit of love lies within oneself. It suggests that rather than searching for external sources of love, the focus should be on identifying and dismantling the internal obstacles that prevent one from experiencing love fully. It emphasizes the idea that one's own fears, defenses, and past experiences can obstruct the ability to give and receive love. By looking inward and addressing these barriers, one can open up to a more authentic and deep experience of love.

There had been an autumn storm of wind and rain, lasting for three days. Thunderous had been the crash of billows on the rocks, wild the white spray and spume that blew over the bar, troubled and misty and tempest-torn the erstwhile blue peace of Four Winds Harbor. Now it was over, and the shore lay clean-washed after the storm; not a wind stirred, but there was still a fine surf on, dashing on sand and rock in a splendid white turmoil--the only restless thing in the great, pervading stillness and peace.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. You must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. The catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. Fight your way above the many inevitable Traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. I don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. I mean today, this minute.
