April, 1940: Spiritual Needs

Spiritual needs can be met by dancing until 5:00 a.m. at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.

Spiritual needs can be met by being out in the world, living fully, getting ideas for a book to write, then plunging into writing it.

Spiritual needs can be met by finding an Italian espresso place on Macdougal Street, sitting at a small table with tottering chairs, watching the Italians play chess, not feeling rushed, talking over coffee.

That's how Anais Nin meets her spiritual needs; how about you?
