But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

from the last verse of the poem If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

Are you flourishing? Not “just getting by” or “making it through,” but truly thriving? In the last two decades, the field of positive psychology has embraced the concept of flourishing, the pinnacle of well-being.

Notes from the Weekend

RECENTLY finished reading Susan Sontag’s essay, “The Double Standard Of Aging” (1972) and found it very enlightening. Made a lot of notes, some of which I’ll share in an upcoming article, but mostly, thought for a long time about her ideas on the subject, and what it it means to be a woman in today’s society.
