F. Scott in my natural habitat
It seemed an eternity before he heard the swift compact sound as she reached the sea. And it was with his glad sigh of relief when her light watery laughter curled up the side of the cliff and into his anxious ears that he knew he loved her
The Offshore Pirate by F. Scott Fitzgerald
cold, distant, hope
But I'll never give up on you, never knowingly leave you when there's something to be done, or something to be said.
I'll be that cold, icy place of escape you need. A walk in the park is just as helpful in the snow, go to the place that will give you solace, and forgive it for being ugly at times.
If you don't give up, chances are you won't be given up on.
And that, is what we call hope.
And that, is what I live for. Or, should I say, how I live.
Blind trust has it's place, and i think blind trust in yourself is the first step towards blind trust in the ways of the world.
as Fitzgerald put so eloquently...
"My courage is faith--faith in the eternal resilience of me--that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity."
