I must admit, the content of this blog is quite different from what it is during the rest of the year.
I am on holidays, I am rested, at peace, out of this buzy-ness but still full of ideas and fire burning inside.
Filling my head with words i love to read, authors that inspire me.
‘Our lives are at once ordinary and mythical. We live and die, age beautifully or full or wrinkles. We wake in the morning, buy yellow cheese, and hope we have enough money to pay for it. At the same instant we have these magnificent hearts that pump through all sorrow and all winters we are alive on the earth. We are important and our lives are important, magnificent really, and their details are worthy to be recorded. This is how writers must think, this is how we must sit down with pen in hand. We were here; we are human beings; this is how we lived. Let it be known, the earth passed before us. Our details are important. Otherwise, if they are not, we can drop a bomb and it doesn’t matter.‘

This paragraph has been written for writers-to-be, somewhere around 84. I like to think that in 2006 we can all be writers.
