I’ve got a lot on my plate this morning, so I thought I’d just kick off the week with a quote from The Book of Qualities. Hope it speaks to you…
Inspiration
Inspiration is disturbing. She does not believe in guarantees or insurance or strict schedules. She is not interested in how well you write your grant proposal or what you do for a living or why you are too busy to see her. She will be there when you need her but you have to take it on trust. Surrender. She knows when you need her better than you do.
— J. Ruth Gendler, The Book of Qualities
Oh gosh, don’t you just LOVE that book? I’ve never known anyone else who has read it but I adore it. If I had wallspace in my office I would print out a bunch of them to paper the walls.
I know. I just love it. Friends of mine did readings from it in their wedding ceremony!
it definitely does. . ..
WoW! I had to re-read it a few times to let it REALLY settle in.
Thanks for posting it =)

You’re welcome 🙂
Wow. This is great. Thanks for sharing this quote and the book. I’ll have to pick up a copy.
Highly recommended. Wild, Picasso-ish pen-and-ink drawings, too.
