I hope we have a beautiful day. ♡

“Thelonious Monk said, ‘A genius is the one most like himself.’ I think it does have a lot to do with our mortality. If we were immortal — if I were immortal, I probably never would’ve written this book, but I felt like, “No. I’m going to die, and so I have to say this. There’s this little sentence in one of Marilyn Robinson’s books that I’ve never forgotten. She said, ‘I’m too old to mince words.’ I feel like that about just being mortal. I am too mortal to mince words. Because I’m going to die, I don’t have time to dither and become what other people think I’m supposed to be. I have this limited time, and I have to be myself. ” –Amy Leach, Awakin.org
