"My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened." "The harder you fall, the higher you bounce." "Age is of no importance unless you’re a cheese." "If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate." "If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito."...
"All we see of someone at any moment is a snapshot of their life, there in riches or poverty, in joy or despair. Snapshots don't show the million decisions that led to that moment." Richard Bach Revisit: Beth Moon photography. I was a Navy brat from the moment my folks first took me home from the hospital, and I lost someone i loved dearly, a young Marine, in Vietnam. I remained connected...
It's likely that this might not mean anything. Or this might mean everything. It's the degree of separation of acceptance and agreement. When i first started to write, I didnt know I could. Whether I could form sentences simply. It didnt make sense then to think. Then why now? It's the mere audacity of oneself, not even belief. Just the acceptance that you know it and you can do it. It isn't even...
After several offline conversations with and about writers, I thought I'd come out of the closet a bit about my own writing. It seems some people have a perception that a full-time writer simply sits on the sofa daydreaming a few hours before dashing off a bit of a story that they send off to Ms. Editor, thereafter promptly receiving a cheque to cover a new pair of Jimmy Choos. As. If. Ordinarily I...
... and I don't mean the fritters :D ~ "Can miles truly separate you from friends....If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?" -Richard Bach ~ ~ "The art of love ... is largely the art of persistence." -Albert Ellis ~ ~ "And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." -Kahlil Gibran ~
The first grown-up book I ever read cover to cover was “Jonathan Livingston Seagull,” which is about gulls as much as another cherished book of mine, “Watership Down” is about rabbits, but when you’re a snot-nosed 9-year-old kid still moving his lips as he reads Richard Bach’s anthropomorphic allegory was just what a wide-eyed punk [...]
The new age message and Neil Diamond music seem pretty smarmy now. Edgy is in. Hope is out. Cynical is the new tie-dye. But back in the '70s, I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull , lying on the floor in the living room at my parents' home in Onalaska, Wisconsin, listening to Neil Diamond's musical adaptation at top volume -- and it worked. I cried. I thought lofty thoughts and dreamed big dreams. Years...
Maurice Blanchot observed that there was a tripartite structure to literature: allegory, myth, symbol. A story is allegoric (always already a great big metaphor), mythic (specific; about what the story says it is about) and symbolic (or, think, subversive; about itself, about itself as a text, about itself as a written artefact; writing, on some level, is always writing about writing). A book like...
“You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.” Richard Bach Source: Thinkexist.com My husband took this photo at our visit to Gelanggang Samudera Indonesia .

Every moment, every second of this life is a gift. In fact, every moment is literally all there is. As soon as the moments have passed they are forever altered by the lens through which we view them. We choose the manner in which we react to the things that happen as a direct result of the choices we made that led us to those things. It's an endlessly fascinating cirle of cause and effect and cause...
Aaron Polson over at his blog 'The Other Aaron', set us all a challenge that had in turn been passed on to him. I thought I would give it a go. It sounded like fun. From a bookcase I've had to pick out one book whose author's last name starts with each letter of my own last name. (If there are no books by an author whose last name starts with a particular letter, go to the next letter.) I haven't been...
