“I remember I would not stand still; I would not stop being perplexed by everything that spontaneously attracted me or caught my attention. I would never cease to look around me and observe myself in relation to nature: either crystal clear skies and sun-melting afternoons, or foggy winter days and weirdly tinted nights.

Or perhaps, immensely foolish to plainly - believe at all.” BelieveLooksStillsEnoughDreamRememberNightChanceAttentionSunClearSkyReadyDiversityWindowSkinsRelationWinterCaughtFoolishCeaseCourageousSensationsShadeAfternoonCrystalsMeltingDevouringPerplexedWinter DaysDiversity Of LifeClear Skies Author:Virginia Woolf
