There is a really terrific book I'm reading again, about living the creative life called "Letters to a Young Poet." Its fantastic! In the early 1900's, a "young poet" wrote several letters to Rainer Maria Rilke (established poet) asking him all things on his mind about writing, process, creativity, dealing with people, being open to change, and on and on......published here in this book are the responses he got from Rilke.
One bit of advice comes to mind directly from this book as I ponder how to live with more ease and trust, while persuing my dreams: to "enjoy the questions as much as you enjoy the answers....."
OK....?? :)
Doing a reading tomorrow night and then shooting a part in a film on Thursday night --- Also starting to submit my one person piece to festivals here and there --- oh! which by the way, I never blogged about - my first public show of this piece on July 1st went really really well! (and out of superstition, that's all I want to say about that for now....) What was most important, was that it was FUN!
;)
