Everything is gestation and then bringing forth. To let each impressions and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one’s intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist’s life: in understanding as in creating.

If there were ever one sentence that could possibly encompass what it feels like to be a writer, professional or amateur, this would be it. This is a beautiful thought that reminds me just why I love to write so very much. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for an inspired day 😉

So nice of you to stop by! Thank you, Aquileana! I read the Rilke poem you recommended and liked it very much — thank you for sharing that with me. He has a beautiful sensibility which always speaks to me. I’ve been unable to spend much time at all in the blogging world due to work, but hopefully will be around more in the near future. Take care and thank you for your comment! 🙂
