A Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh...
“I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Anne Marrow Lindbergh was a pioneering American aviator, author, and the spouse of fellow aviator Charles Lindbergh. I knew little of her when I began reading her book this summer and was drawn into her writing immediately as she shared her desire “to be at peace with myself and wanting singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can”.
I have been cultivating a practice of focus and intention and found her insight profound even though they were written 50 years ago. Enjoy!
