Quote by Chuang Tzu

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

Summary

This quote suggests that we tend to be stubbornly attached to our own perspectives, as if they are the only truth. However, it reminds us that our opinions are temporary and transient, just like the changing seasons. It implies that we should be more open-minded, recognizing that our viewpoints will eventually fade away, and therefore, we should embrace a greater flexibility in our thinking.

It isn't easy, it does take an incredible amount of discipline, you don't just write just when you feel like it or you're not going to build up much of a body of work. Inspiration comes to you while you're writing rather than before....For me the discipline of writing and the discipline of prayer are identical, in that I have to let myself be got out of the way because that's not a do-it-yourself activity, and listen....When you write, don't think, write. You think before, you think after, you don't think during. When I'm praying, when I'm truly praying, I'm not thinking, I'm not speaking, I'm shutting up, so perhaps if God has something to say I can hear it. So writing too is an act of listening, listening to what has to be said.
