You'll have to thank (condemn?) Lindsey for my latest writing spree. She sent a chain email asking us to send our favourite quote to live by to person number one on the list and then move her name up and place ours under it. I never did forward it to twenty friends - and I only answered it a month later - but I did meet Mary that way and catch up again with some old faces from the Stuttgart Writers' Group. Oh dear - I am SO bad at letting go. But more on that later.
Writers are notorious for not being able to follow directions.
Excuse us; we all decided one time in Stuttgart that it's our brilliance and our creativity. The rules really CAN'T apply to US can they?!
So I sent two quotes BEFORE the one that counts. And have come up with another since then.
1. Is a personal quote from Lindey herself: "Everything strong comes from something broken." (Look, behind every writer is a person searching for healing! Oops. Is that another one?!)
2. Is a personal quote from a friend of mine here. When discussing Tao and emptiness and what it means. And if emptiness is good. "I guess it all depends on what you allow to fill the emptiness."
3. Is mine. I still want to blog on this one. It came to me last week. After a LOT of searching. "Surrender is giving up with hope."
4. Kenny Rogers. (Written by D. Schlitz) "You gotta know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run."
I heard it again today at the Urban Country Music Festival in Caboolture and really think it covers everything there is you need to know about life.
Especially the part about running!!!
