Tag Archives: i quite like quotes ‘i believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent than history, that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience…’ This is a part of the Storytellers Creed that I came across in one of my all-time favourite books that I’ve been re-reading lately. Do other people…  “You’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street. And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In… enjoy and bask inside every single moment of what your lives are right now, jenn and dave. i can’t wait to hear all about pdx. tons of love, anda That Waiting and Staying Place….It’s the worst. I hate it. I hope I, too, can find my out. Love this post – and seeing your various snippets of Cannon Beach and Portland. Have a blast. exes. ohs.  “Listen, here’s what I think. I think that we can’t go around… measuring our goodness by what we don’t do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think… we’ve got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create… and who we include.” We are all taught to… Such truth in a simple lesson. Just what I needed to hear…again. xo T sounds good to me :)  “To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.” (Bette Davis) pretty!!! :) love a good dreamy nature shot :) Very pretty shot – although I think this is what Ben has been seeing in his nightmares haha (He is very allergic to ‘Golden Rod’) nice picture nonetheless.  “The fishing is best where the fewest people go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. Do not overestimate everyone else while underestimating yourself.” (Tim Ferriss) YESSSSS! +1,000. Love this :) so, so true. |

athena - I re-read, too. For the exact reason you do. For the same reasons you listen to a favorite song to recall a familiar feeling – or bring forward a distant memory. To wrap yourself so securely in the comfort of words, of stories, of language, is one of the greatest gifts that books give us. It makes sense to indulge in them. Often.
I, too, fancy myself a writer – a storyteller – and I did lose sight of that – so this post comes at a perfect time for me. A nice reminder that just because you feel lost, doesn’t mean you cannot find yourself again.
SO thank you. Again. For being poignant and real. And maybe a little prophetic, too. haha. xoxo
