The Natural Life

“The natural life is not
A life without warts.”

~ Wu Hsin Translated by Roy Melvyn from “The Lost Writing of Wu Hsin”

These words brought a smile today.

Ah yes, we may want life to be flowing and “natural”, yet we tend not to accept the very nature of it.

Warts happen.

Embrace the highs and lows of life my friends.

    Absolutely true. Sadness, hurt, pain – all of that is as natural as their alternatives. 🙂

    When I first read the quote I misread ‘warts’ as ‘wants’. 🙂 Actually that works, too.
