You Can Quote Me

My best living
comes
when I forget
how to do it
and why I’m even
doing it
to begin with.

    no quotes, no goats, and no coats...

    and what's the worst like? does it really get any better when it isn't? let the latern burn its fuel so that the dying may live again...

    a person only learns how to live because they have forgotten how, so they can't learn it, and asking why you are doing something means you haven't done it but only performed it and it is gone and won't come back ... find the place, find the place, it is long and wide and full of poetry, music, art, joy, sorrow and real stuff ... all the rest is muck, so don't be muck

    yep. this is nice.

    I will and probably often. Thinking of having this tatooed in mirror image on my forehead.

    Most insightful and true,
    perhaps, no...no perhaps about it-
    more so than I know

    Oh the number of times I get to a contest and find that it's finished! k-c, join the club!

    And you're so right - I too feel, more often than not, like a helpless centipede trying to remember how to walk. I only manage when I forget that I have forgotten.

  • lovely!

    and I KNOW it would have faired Very well in the contest
    a delight to read, as always

    Great write, Lane. Lots of truth to these words. Sometimes even when people don't know why they are doing the things they are doing in life, the reason doesn't always matter as long as they are having fun. Thanks for sharing and keep that pen flowing.

    No about missing entry times etc. There is a fine line between bliss and stupidity. I would rarely accuse of the latter.

    How true
    Life is much better left to those who don't try to understand it. I think that's where I went wrong
