We are all like stained-glass windows glowing in the night, each with our own design. Don’t let your light go out, or we won’t see it.
Who you are and what you have to say is precious. We all have our stories. Tell yours.
We share common threads but weave them differently. Some stories we relate to more than others. Some we like, some we don’t. My five-star review of one person’s book is a one-star review for someone else and vice versa.
So what?
It doesn’t matter. There are plenty of us to go around, plenty of people to relate to in one way or another. Never give up hope that your voice is important. We need to hear it. If you are writing your story or memoir, don’t give up.
I won’t either.
“…Drink the wine that moves you
As a camel moves when it’s been untied,
And is just ambling about.”
“The Many Wines”
from The Essential Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
