The mantra for 2013

The post I wanted to share today has been thwarted by issues that Blogger has with uploading photos so I want to share something else instead. The quote below from poet Mary Oliver is one I found somewhere a few weeks ago and scribbled down. I did that because she has managed,yet again, to put into words a call to action that I need to register personally. I then  found the following video here earlier, and it seemed that the two things are sort of saying the same message in essence.Words to revisit and take heed of in the months ahead.

'The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work; who felt their own creative power restive and uprising , and gave it neither power nor time'

Wonderful....... and apart from the message, the way the film was put together is totally entrancing. I have watched it over and over and love its playfulness and of course, good taste!

So, so, so true, but how long to close the gap?
