“In diving to the bottom of pleasure we bring up more gravel than pearls.”
This is a timeless quote from Honore de Balzac, a nineteenth-century French novelist and playwright. My husband loves scuba diving. Rocks always seem to get my attention. Whether it is a beautiful rock in the landscape or looking for different colored and shaped rocks when walking along a trail or beach. Pearls, just not our style. Another thing we have in common, we enjoy the simple things in life. I am not so sure about diving to the bottom of pleasure, but I do try to find an appreciation even in gravel!
