November, 1932: Yearning

Anais Nin feels a "sickness of the soul" and yearns to read, write, listen to music, discuss philosophy, be contemplative, be at peace, have solitude, surround herself with beauty. I felt this today myself as I struggled with frustrations at work and just wanted to stop the world and jump off or at least go into hiding. I longed for the joy and peace of a sabbatical filled with long walks, healthy foods, exercise, pampering, good conversations. For now, the memories of such times will have to suffice.
