How Does It Feel To Know Everything In Life Is Not What It Seems?
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to start.
The French writer Andre Gide once said “ everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again”.
I never thought I’d write a book. I never thought I’d get on stage to share my poetry. It kind of just happened.
People ask me how I continually write, and my answer, experiencing life.
I study poets, artists, musicians, and nature. Everything in the world around me is a playground for life. Sometimes inspiration strikes, other days it doesn’t. And through it all, I have learned that if I free myself from expectations and experience life for what it is, magic happens.
Of course, like most people, I fantasize about life on a bigger scale. I think it would be cool to be an author and poet who people quote and tweet about.
Maybe even have enough money to have a giant cabin in the woods where silence fills the crisp air and the scenery is serene. That’s the life I dream of living.
But I digress.
