Why This Quote Matters

This wisdom quote comes from The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper. Fantasy has a way of saying true things about real life, and this line rewards a second read.

Notice what comes up when you sit with it for a moment. The lines that stay with us are rarely the loudest ones. They are the ones that name something we already felt but had not yet put into words.

If this one landed, save it. Come back to it on a day when you need the reminder, and pass it on to someone who would feel it too.
