lightly

It’s dark because
you are trying too
hard. Lightly child,
lightly. Learn to do
everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even
though you’re feeling
deeply. Just lightly let
things happen and
lightly cope with
them. I was so
preposterously
serious in those
days… Lightly, lightly
– it’s the best advice
ever given me…So
throw away your
baggage and go
forward. There are
quicksands all about
you, sucking at your
feet, trying to suck
you down into fear
and self-pity and
despair. That’s why
you must walk so
lightly. Lightly my
darling…”
Aldous Huxley
