During my commute on BART this morning, I was listening to To The Best Of Our Knowledge, and I would like to share with you an excerpt from this episode. It's been a while since my last post, and well, these are actually the words that inspired me to begin writing here again:
"The greatest healing is to give yourself away, to use yourself up before you die. And really, if you can get yourself on the page so clean and clear that it communicates, you give yourself up. It's over. You've given your life to the page and to other people...which is really wonderful."
--Natalie Goldberg, author of Old Friend From Far Away: The Practice of Writing Memoir, episode titled "From Suburbia to Surreal: Writer's Lives"
