(I'm at a dozen I think.)<BR/>Pam--Oh, I love it when you drop by! Accepting the cahos isn't giving in, it's becoming a fuller part of the world around us. IT's not chaos, but out attempt to "order" it all and alienate ourselves from it truly does seem to create chaos.

I recently was talking to someone, acknowledging that finally I accepted that I enjoyed chaos - perhaps even craved it. My existence is pretty chaotic - and for a long time I think I felt that it should be calm, quiet - that in order to come to any sense of personal or professional 'peace' (whatever the hell that is) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-38517095844572145302009-01-02T23:49:00.000-06:002009-01-02T23:49:00.000-06:00"I think about all the books that never get read a..."I think about all the books that never get read and all the words that never get said, and somewhere in between is a great anguish and joy..."

Maybe guts is drive and stamina, or, the ability to take the rejections over and over and not stick your head in the oven. You've found your voice in your impressive gardens, and I think it can be just as effective there as in any other medium.Benjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-61622206839270588862008-12-22T17:08:00.000-06:002008-12-22T17:08:00.000-06:00When I was a young man, I held pretensions of foll...When I was a young man, I held pretensions of following your pathway; however, reading about the lives of successful authors led me to the conclusion that you need to have four things line up like bells on a slot machine: talent,luck,drive, and guts... in the end I never had the guts to find out if the first three would line up for me. You, at least, have a good shot at it.
