From Sylvia Fraser's "The Green Labyrinth:
"Perform in humility, just as birds accept that air is their vehicle."
Reading this quote from an Amazonian shaman, got me pondering: As a writer, what is my vehicle?
There is a mystery, something larger, more expansive and powerful than myself that sustains my imagination, sparks my creativity, transforms words into wonder when they bloom on the page...
I don't need to dissect this unknown, quantify it or squash it into a neatly labelled box.
I only need to put my pen to the page.....marvel with rising joy and rumbling fear...and be always, bone-deep, astonished and grateful.
