“The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in meOlder and harder than life and more impartial, the eye that watched before there was an ocean.”

Ever felt like you are part of something much bigger than your current struggle? ✨ Robinson Jeffers reminds us of our eternal connection: “The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in me / Older and harder than life and more impartial, the eye that watched before there was an ocean.” How do you find your inner stillness when life gets loud? 👇
About this quote
In the midst of life’s inevitable storms, it is easy to lose ourselves in the chaos of emotion and the weight of our daily struggles. But Robinson Jeffers reminds us that we are far more than just our fleeting experiences. We are woven into the very fabric of the cosmos, carrying the rhythmic pull of the tides and the ancient light of the stars within our very being. This profound connection serves as a reminder that even in your most isolated moments, you are part of a grand, eternal dance that predates your fears and your triumphs. True resilience and inner peace come from tapping into that 'older and harder' part of your soul—the silent, steady observer that remains calm even when the waves of life crash around you. While it is beautiful to embrace life's emotions as your 'child,' there is a deeper wisdom within you that remains untouched by temporary chaos. By cultivating this perspective, you can navigate life's turbulence with a sense of cosmic stillness, finding strength in the realization that you are both the storm and the infinite sky that watches it pass.
