On writing…

‘I wrote when I did not know life; now that I do know the meaning of life, I have no more to write. Life cannot be written, life can only be lived–I have lived.’ – Oscar Wilde
It’s a lot easier to write as a bystander. When you’re in the midst of it, weathering the infinite daily (hourly, minute by minute!) battles, you don’t have as much luxury to write. We’re building, we’re fighting for survival, we’re in the thick of it. All that time I could spend writing, I want to use to build and push forward and evolve and iterate instead.
A thought: All of the compulsion to change, and change, and change again – how does that impact my ability to live in the present moment?
I know it’s hard to keep up with writing, especially with your kind of schedule. But, I just wanted to say – WRITE MORE! You have so much to share, there are lots of people who’d love to read it.
Hope all is well!
Thank you Tammy.
Your kind words are very much appreciated.
