What Do You Listen To When You Write?

Saturday, February 17, 2007

So Speaks the Rhu. . .:-D

Rhubarb (megan) is such the best. Look what she wrote me!


"When we did jumping in horseback riding, they told us to never look at the hurdle or at the ground in front of the hurdle. "The horse knows where you're looking," and if we looked at the ground, that's where we were going to end up. In a heap. Tangled up with the horse. . . and probably in pain. What they told us to do was look at the horizon; then the horse would make the hurdle easily.

So the moral of the story is, if you're looking for somewhere to crash and burn, you will In fact, if you look at the obstacle, you probably won't even make it. But if you look at the horizon, then you'll clear it with plenty of room to spare. So my advice to you in this situation is to (besides, you know, frantic, fervent, constant, oh-help type prayer). . . well, in the words of Cap'n Jack--"Bring me that horizon." "

LOL I wish it were me, no that's my friend telling me not to be ''such the baby'' and that she believes I can do this signing thing. I told her I'd post it here to keep me from forgetting what she said.

I think my fave quote from Capt'n Jack is

"A ship's not a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs. What a ship is, what the Black Pearl really is, is freedom."
