Let’s discuss a quote today.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” ~ Anaïs Nin
MY THOUGHTS:
I am not very sure what “to taste life” means. If it means a pleasurable experience , then I agree with the quote. Writing is indeed an activity very much to my taste.
Revisiting what you have written is a good experience, albeit a somewhat narcissistic one. I must confess that sometimes I read my old posts and think they are rather good.
What do you think? How would you interpret this quote?

I think of the post I shared yesterday. On Saturday I went to Stirling Castle and had a brilliant day. To me, the quote refers to the time I spent yesterday writing about the experience, reliving the visit through my memories. I will also write more about the castle visit later, but ‘tasting life’ to me would be about reliving the visit – the experience through memories, and capturing them in words and with photos makes it a deeper experience than just sitting with my memories
