Blossoming

Anais Nin quote
Calligraphy by Sherrie Lovler

I love this quote from Anaïs Nin:

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

I had seen a black and white ad for the calligraphy above in a magazine years ago, which I had cut out and held onto until it got lost in a move. I had always meant to order it. I came across the quote today while searching, and courtesy of Google’s image search, I found the same calligraphy, years later!

I’ve gone ahead and ordered a print.

    That quote is featured in the old MTV animated series “The Maxx.” I’ve always liked it too, but thought they’d actually written it for the show. Didn’t know it was an Anais Nin quote.
