Quote by C.S. Lewis

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend

Summary

This quote metaphorically compares the experience of grief to navigating through a long valley. The valley symbolizes the emotional journey one goes through after experiencing loss or tragedy. Just like a winding valley, grief is unpredictable and varies in intensity. The quote suggests that at any point in the grieving process, we may unexpectedly encounter new emotions or perspectives, just as each bend in the valley reveals a different landscape. It highlights the complex and ever-changing nature of grief and acknowledges that healing and finding meaning can come from unexpected sources or experiences along the way.

We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.
