Signposts and Guides for the Creative Life



I love a good quote.  I find them on little scraps of paper all over the house, tucked into books, scribbled on programs, left in the car on the backs of wrappers.  A friend and I were recently talking about our mutual addiction to them and she keeps a notebook dedicated only to these pearls of wisdom.  I’d like to get so organized.

I’m thinking that offering some of the ones I’ve come across might be of interest to followers of this blog.  And maybe, in return, they will be so kind as to share some of their favorites. 


 So here is my first offering.

 “Consider every path, carefully testing it in whichever way you feel necessary, then ask yourself, but only yourself, one question: ‘Does this path have heart?’  The path that has heart will uplift you, ease your burden and bring you joy.  The path with no heart will make you stumble, it will break your spirit, and finally cause you to look upon your life with anger and bitterness.”  Carlos Casteneda

Does this resonate with your experience as it does with mine?  If so, how did you learn this?
