What lovely words of encouragement for the encourager! Thank you. My mum recently saw Lemn Sissay at her local theatre. She loved it and we love his words. So clever.

There is so much beauty and wonder in the world, and so much of it yet to be discovered by each of us. I am delighted to be always discovering more

Barrie, Thank you hugely once again for sharing my words, I am still shocked/humbled/delighted every time I see them anywhere other than where I posted them!

Another wonderful collage of encouragement and curios, especially the Toni Morrison quote, I may have to pinch that for something at a later date!

Ah, pinch away … sometimes, we writers need to see our words through the eyes of others. Yours are so evocative. It’s a joy to share them.

Laura Pashby, When the Light Slips Back. Wow. Thank you. I am reminded of Dickenson.

Here is one of the best from MY reading this week. Mark Twain. "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

Love a Mark Twain quote … there’s always that teetering jeopardy over whether they are authentic! There’s that one about the internet … but I think that was Abe Lincoln!!
