A Friend on the Path

Have you ever read any books by Sark? I keep finding them at the library book sales, or I should say, they keep finding me. Her books are bright, colorful, and creative (like Sark), and hard to miss on a shelf, but aside from visually jumping out at me, I think her books have found me for other reasons, mainly because I needed them. She is very real in her writing, and reading her words feels like having a conversation with a very insightful, inspirational friend. She wrote in her book, Succulant Wild Woman, "I envision a world filled with women traveling alone and meeting each other on the path." Today, I feel like I met her on that path. I googled her to see if she had a blog, and found the link posted above. I couldn't believe it! There she was, sticking her tongue out and talking about "doing more things badly"! Exactly the commitment I made to myself yesterday. Sometimes things seem too coincidental to be merely a coincidence.

Quote of the day - Whatever coaxes us out of hiding, to write, record, and express, is a revolutionary act. It says that we believe our lives count. Our lives do count. - Sark
