I doubt I will ever have the time to do half the things I think of or want to do; but on the other hand am learning that that is OK. Still, letting things unfold is a fine thing.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-16359708905533508352012-08-18T17:35:53.104+10:002012-08-18T17:35:53.104+10:00Thans Janine - every now and again I need these re...Thans Janine - every now and again I need these reminders.

I...Ah,Fiona, patience.... that virtue I wish I had. I think I am patiently waiting for ideas to ferment and germinate but in truth, I think I am actually procrastinating! Somebody described it to me the other day as think/make syndrome and said if I just got on and made something... anything.... then time would fly, my creativity would kick in and all would be well. Hmmm. Great choice of words as ever to get the grey cells working.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-47487347373454640272012-08-17T10:13:58.977+10:002012-08-17T10:13:58.977+10:00What beautiful words, Fiona (both yours and Rilke&...What beautiful words, Fiona (both yours and Rilke's). The quote makes so much sense, and yet sometimes it can be so hard to accept that things will unfold in their own good, right time. I understand the urgency that Jo speaks of...it seems there's so much to learn, to discover, to digest - and to then express - and each year disappears faster than the one before.<br />Here's to remembering the value of patience as each day begins...<br />Arzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-21324781962502400112012-08-17T10:06:04.342+10:002012-08-17T10:06:04.342+10:00Thanks Fiona.

Lovely post and photo Fiona. I only wish that I didn't consider the fact that there is so much less of my life left than has been before.
