Three quotes that speak to me on a very personal level.
The quote about yearning for something unnamed speaks to the nature of who I am at my core. Now, to be clear, I don’t spend my days moping around about what it is I might be yearning for. I have a very blessed life and I am very aware of that. I think that, as a writer, there are feelings and yearnings that demand to be expressed whether we can name them or not.
I’m sorry if that seems kind of vague, but the unknown always is.
The second, often quoted, quote from the magical and timeless “The Little Prince” probably needs no explanation. It has been a favorite of mine for many years.
The third quote about my heart being tired, I just found this morning, although I did read that wonderful book, “The Book Thief”. If you have not read it, treat yourself. What I thought of when I saw it this morning, is that the world often tires my heart out. I watch the news, enough said. So much pain in the world. So many hurting and distraught people. So many angry people justifying useless agression. It does tire my heart and often I will take a break from watching news stories in order to retain some semblance of sanity. Lol
Okay. Long explanations. A look into the heart and soul of a writer.
A beautiful selection and interesting to read your thoughts behind each one. The heart can tire, literally ache, for so much sadness, trauma. This simple sentence says it all.
