Made me laugh too...bonus. <br /><br />I drafted this a week or so before I posted it - maybe longer.<br /><br />I was frustrated...and for every piece I tried to sort through, a cliche' came to mind. ...And for each cliche' that came to mind, a contrapuntal one sprang forward as well. I went with it.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844030295079945911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743628333685674990.post-44067871395465700402009-09-24T16:25:37.358-04:002009-09-24T16:25:37.358-04:00OK, I'm a little behind on reading blogs, but ...OK, I'm a little behind on reading blogs, but can I ask WTF? and is this in any way related to having your cake and eating all the dinners you cook too?Lindsay Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134836940430103349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743628333685674990.post-15669135670811193802009-09-21T21:07:47.714-04:002009-09-21T21:07:47.714-04:00LOVE the Rilke quote...meant to tell you that soon...LOVE the Rilke quote...meant to tell you that sooner!!

I think you left out maybe five totally-true-but-useless-unless-you're-delivering-'em cliches.<br /> <br /><br />The Challenge: Produce one or two that actually make a difference when the Shit Mood shows up. Ummm..."Go deeper into this feeling. Explore it. Deeper. Watch it changing. It's already on its way out." <br /><br />Actually, I think the quotation from Rilke goes: "Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. No feeling is final."<br /> <br />I had that cross-stitched recently, twice, for my kids. I think one wound up in a drawer in Nashville and I have the other one still. I guess I'm the one who loves it most.<br /> <br />You're an stellar human, Amanda Rose.Nance Meekerhttp://www.maturelandscaping.comnoreply@blogger.com
