About This Quote

These words by Lord Tennyson capture the duality of human existence: we are either in fear or we are in love. We are either open or we are closed. Expansive or contracted. When we’re in fear, we’re closed and limited; we’re contracted and limited to what we can see and understand.

When we’re in love, we’re open and expansive; we’re expansive and limitless to what we can see and understand. We may not always like the way things are, but they will never be the way they were. That is the nature of life: things change.
