an obsession and an inspiration...

"The more you think about your own self, the more self-centered you are, the more trouble even small problems can create in your mind. The stronger your sense of ‘I’, the narrower the scope of your thinking becomes; then even small obstacles become unbearable. On the other hand, if you concern yourself mainly with others, the broader your thinking becomes, and life’s inevitable difficulties disturb you less."

~I borrowed this from my Thai Massage teacher, Ariela Grodner

I do not know why I assoicate this quote with barnacles. This is a colony (?), tribe (?), gathering (?) of barnacles I became enamored with during our visit to Fort Clinch. I could not stop watching them (and poking their little heads, gently). I have just begun my research into them, so I am not sure if they are self-centered or not. Maybe they don't even realize they live so close together. But, this is how my mind works...strange associations.
