Philosophy

[labelleizzy]

Love is a verb.

It’s taken me many years to realize that intentions don’t count for much unless I actually DO SOMETHING about them. Teach. Reach Out. Help people who need it. Talk. Listen. Figure something out and then Do that thing. Make. Write. Art (yes, it’s a verb). Dance. Share something that’s important with people who matter.

Make stuff. Laugh. Sing. Enjoy where I am now. Strive toward something meaningful.

What’s next?
No idea. I’m making the map as I travel. I used to believe that everyone else had gotten the map, and I was stuck behind the door somehow, but I know better now.

We’re all on stage, improvising. Or in the workshop, building from scratch, solving problems, making mistakes and fixing them. Or writing, revising, sculpting a new shape with words on a page.

Starting from the quiet place works best for me.
Here’s a moment of quiet.

Here's to this moment of quiet helping you to create anything you need to. I say need, because I feel like you need it. I can relate to that.

Well put, I like your minimal use of words here, they manage to convey so much!

Great and good! And here's hoping Idol helps you dig deep down into that artistic place you clearly have, that cavern of creativity, and get you to spin some wonderful yarns and then maybe skein them into the fabric of meaningfulness.

Here's to creation! *tink*

Thank you so much for the feedback. That has been a challenge of mine in the past, being concise.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like your metaphor here, because yes.

"It’s taken me many years to realize that intentions don’t count for much unless I actually DO SOMETHING about them."

Still learning this. I mean, I know this, but still working on putting this into action for myself.

Love this first entry!

'All the world's a stage...' I liked this.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

yeah, I'm still working on it, myself.
thanks for the comment!

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

thank you for saying so.

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[fushia-darkness.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing! I'm working on the same thing but haven't gotten as far as you.

"I’m making the map as I travel. I used to believe that everyone else had gotten the map, and I was stuck behind the door somehow, but I know better now."
I logically understand this but don't feel it in my heart 100% yet.

You bring me hope in my journey *hugs*

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Very well-said! *grin* Look forward to reading more entries from you!

I like art-as-a-verb.

[kagomeshuko.livejournal.com]

I love this.

[kajel.livejournal.com]

There is a point that you learn you can't just talk about it. You have to do it. Nicely done.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Hugs. It took me awhile to get here. Don't give up on yourself!

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm hoping to meet some new friends.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. One of the Things I Do is repurposing words into new words. It's a great deal of fun!

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

hey, thanks for saying so.
