That's Rare

"I don’t know how you define masterpiece. 

Yes, lights go on, bells ring. 

You can’t think about anything else. 

You keep calling everybody, carrying on. 

That’s rare."

~ Joni Evans

Then It Goes Out

"Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. 

Your stuff starts out being just for you, 

in other words, but then it goes out."

~ Stephen King

This quote made me smile as I continue to work on my essay about my Grandma Emily.

Oh Sun

"Return me, oh sun, to my wild destiny."

~ Jalaluddin Rumi

Catch Their Stars

"Most folks never catch their stars."

~Paul Simon

The morning sun is so bright, it fills the sky with blazing light and looks like a gigantic star.

I Just Close My Eyes

"Daydreams, as it were… I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene."

~ Grandma Moses
