Silent Sunday: Limitations

A great blue heron shelters among bald cypress trees. Low tide at Sandy Bay, Jamestown VA

“Unlimited possibilities are not suited to man; if they existed, his life would only dissolve in the boundless. To become strong, a man’s life needs the limitations ordained by duty and voluntarily accepted. The individual attains significance as a free spirit only by surrounding himself with these limitations and by determining for himself what his duty is.”

translation from The I Ching
