If not now, when?

If I am not for myself,

who is for me?

And when I am for myself,

what am I?

And if not now, when?

If not now

I don’t know much about this quote, except that it is from a Rabbi who lived in ancient times, whose name was Hillel the Elder. The post is for Jackie at A Cooking Pot and Twisted Tales. Jackie challenged me to post three favourite quotes and pass on the challenge. If you’d like to join in please do!

The Quotes Challenge Day Three

Aayusi has kindly nominated me for the Quotes Challenge, thank you again Aayusi. Today is my last post. The idea is to post a favourite quote for three days and nominate three people to join in. I haven’t nominated, but instead if you haven’t been invited but want to take part please do so. So here is day three, a very special one that few of you will have come across.

If the Universe wants you somewhere you know it will happen regardless of the weather

The Quotes Challenge Day One

Aayusi has kindly nominated me for the Quotes Challenge today! I hadn’t heard of it until then, but suddenly it’s everywhere. The idea is to post a favourite quote for three days and nominate three people to join in. Here is my Day One.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. Then you will see what medicines they make, and where and when to apply them. That is the work. The only work.

Thank you again Aayusi!
I won’t choose anyone, but instead invite anyone who would like to join in to do so.
