Wisdom from Wendell Berry
I found what's below in an interview with Wendell Berry in the July 2008 issue of The Sun magazine. It is something to take to heart, those of who have privileged the writer's life over other paths and journeys:
Berry says:
"You need to realize...: you can lead a perfectly good and satisfactory life even if you're NOT a writer. When I figured out I could be perfectly happy and not be a writer, I became a BETTER writer...I don't think you ought to let your happiness depend on writing...The unhappiest people in the world may be the ones who think their happiness depends on artistic success."
Well said.
