I love when my worlds collide. This quote from Anne Lamott’s brilliant book Bird by Bird can be seen through every lens of this blog: faith, OCD, creativity. Here’s the full quote:
“I heard a preacher say recently that hope is a revolutionary patience; let me add that so is being a writer. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.”
I’ve been reflecting on “Bird by Bird” in my web posts this week. I included this very quote yesterday.
Great minds think alike!
Love that!!
Love. This. Quote. Exactly how it was for me, as someone with depression.
You may have inspired me to read this. It’s on the list!
Oh my gosh, Bird by Bird is a MUST-READ!!!
