Flowers lead to books, which lead to thinking and not thinking and then more flowers and music, music. Then many more flowers and many more books. - Maira Kalman

If you go too fast you might not notice everything. On the other hand, you don't want to be late.

Soon enough it will be me struggling (valiantly?) to walk - lugging my stuff around. How are we all so brave as to take step after step? Day after day? How are we so optimistic, so careful not to trip and yet do trip, and then get up and say O.K. Why do I feel so sorry for everyone and so proud?

I want to say
that wonderful ideas
can come from anywhere.
Sometimes you make a mistake,
or break something, or lose a hat, and the next
thing you know, you get a great idea.
