Join 📚 Roger's Highlights

“The ocean’s a pretty wild place,” Arabonis said soberly. “A lot of ships do get lost. And if you consider the smaller boats, the numbers are extraordinary. I heard a statistic of several thousand yachts a year disappearing.” He stood to refill our cups of tea. “A wave that’s sixty feet from trough to crest is a very scary beast. But when it hits seventy-five feet you’re talking about something absolutely out of this world.”
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

It took me a while to recognize this, but feeling connected and having healthy relationships with others, and with oneself, is as imperative as maintaining efficient glucose metabolism or an optimal lipoprotein profile. It is just as important to get your emotional house in order as it is to have a colonoscopy or an Lp(a) test, if not more so. It’s just a lot more complicated.
