Accepting Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“One learns to accept the fact that no permanent return is possible to an old form of relationship; and, more deeply still, that there is no holding of a relationship to a single form. This is not tragedy but part of the ever-recurrent miracle of life and growth.” quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
