Your words remind me of something Annie Dillard once wrote. She was speaking of the process of writing, but of course it applies more generally:
“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better.”
Beautiful picture, nice sentiment
Interesting vintage look.
