i got dave eggers love
i get to keep it
it is mine
he wrote my favorite book
(heartbreaking work of staggering genius)
he started 826 valencia, which inspires me beyond words for my own tutoring adventure
(he does a ted talk about it here)
and this is an excerpt from a quote i just read:
“Do not be critics, you people, I beg you. I was a critic and I wish I could take it all back because it came from a smelly and ignorant place in me, and spoke with a voice that was all rage and envy. Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them. It is a fuckload of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but Christ, that is what matters. What matters is saying yes.”
i don’t need to meet dave
i already have his gift in my heart.
inspiration and a beating heart.
(thank you @galadarling for sharing that wonderful quote. (she shares great stuff )
