I came across this quote while visiting Bohemian Girl Designs. This is the blog of a wonderfully talented photographer, Denise of Boho Photography. Read it and be inspired as I was..
"I am one of the searchers. There
are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we
really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its
ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to
understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean,
taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable
beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and
the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives
as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as
great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter.
We
searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful
it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to
live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent
our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what
little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or
compete for love.
For
wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to
ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too
gentle to live among wolves."
