--THIS
IS AS DELICATE AS WE CAN BE
…I had
a story published and nominated for Push Cart Prize the other day. Yay.
Here it is:
…And I
had this little thing published as well, which was rejected by another magazine
for being too dark:
…I’m
leaving for Vancouver tomorrow, back Sunday, so I won’t be writing here for a
while. I hope you have a great week and
weekend.
…Here
are some things to ponder in the meantime:
-“I
love people who make me laugh. I
honestly think it’s my favorite thing, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably
the most important thing in a person.” Audrey Hepburn
-“Art—whether
it’s creative writing, visual art, performance art, film—is a form of
resistance. None of us wants to be invisible, unseen by our community, cast
off, marginalized. Art gives us a way to say, “I am here.” --Terry Ann Thaxton
-"I love the man that can smile in
trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by
reflection." Thomas Paine
-"Nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon
its fulfillment." Benjamin
Disraeli
-“It doesn't matter how often
you get knocked down; what matters is how often you get back up." Vince Lombardi
-"What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite
in faculty! In form, in moving, how express and admirable! In action how like
an angel! In apprehension how like a God!" William Shakespeare
-"Aerodynamically a bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee
doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway." Mary Kay Ash
-"The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to
one's opportunities, and to make the most of one's resources." Luc de Clapiers
-"The great end of art is to strike the imagination with the power
of a soul that refuses to admit defeat even in the midst of a collapsing
world." Friedrich Nietzsche
-"I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things
through - then follow through." Eddie Rickenbacker
