I like that allegory.
"If you are depressed you are living in the past if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present." Lao Tzu
He was a smart guy. What was true then, many, many centuries ago, is still true today.

Definitely agree comparing Books and Flying carpets!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kitten, sounds like a great idea, sitting on your flying carpet taking you to countries far far away or ages long gone.
DeleteThe last one is very true. Every Dan Jones book I read, I hear in his voice in my head as I read. So I can just pretend my BFF and I are talking about medieval Europe and Eleanor of Aquitaine all the time.

DeleteI love that flying carpet quote! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great picture. Thank you, Lark.
