Goals For The Month: Submit
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound
is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a
lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate
organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something
of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour
out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really
alive unless he is creating." -Pearl S. Buck, novelist, Nobel laureate
(1892-1973)
I love that quote! I know that there are many of you out there who feel this as artist, photographers, writers, etc. I know I do. It is the end of July and I am getting my submission ready to be sent by tomorrow. I know that tomorrow is August 1st, but better late than never. Be blessed and don't be afraid of your greatness. I know that you don't realize this at times, but you are far greater than you can ever imagine. May the Creator bless us all. Peace~

Thank you for the exclamations!! :) I also thank you for your blessings. I remember you telling me your hardships with getting published. As for a guardian angel...I'm going straight for the Master. Peace~
Yes, there is far more in us than we realize. I'm sure that you've been told this by people that know and love you. We often write off by saying, 'oh...you're supposed to say that because you love me.' The fact is that they can see your greatness right before their eyes, but you look in the mirror and you just see NML. I hope that you enjoyed your birthday!
Oh, who am I talking to...of course you enjoyed it. :)
Easy for me to say, huh? Maybe I should follow my own advice - HEE!
@ SB -- Okay, I'm done hijacking your blog. I am putting myself on a self-imposed moratorium from your spot! (at least for the next 10 minutes) :-) Peace...
As a poet, thats exactly how I feel. Poetry is like breathing. Its something I can't live without doing. I can't imagine what I would do if I couldn't write because its so deeply embedded into who I am. =)
I thought so too. Hello!
