Waiting for inspiration on a windy monday...
I kept sighing all day, feeling vaguely frustrated because inspiration ceased flirting with me on
this windy monday and deserted my creative neurones !
this windy monday and deserted my creative neurones !
And then in the evening, rummaging through old sketchbooks,
I found this Chinese proverb, I noted down once to make sure it won't be forgotten:
Avec le temps et la patience, les feuilles de mûrier deviendront robe de soie
With time and patience, mulberry leaves will turn into a silk dress.
It brought a big smile on my face and I thought, never mind tomorrow is another day !
ps: talking about silk and although it was published a few years ago, did you read the novel Silk by Alessandro Baricco or see the movie ? I'm curious, if you read it, to know your feeling about this book. Were you enthralled by it ?
i am now reading An Iliad by the same author, which is a sort of modern rewriting of Homer's classic and am completely captivated by it.

What a beautiful Chinese proverb. Sometimes I have trouble being patient. Thank you for the book recommendation. I have not read Silk yet.
Hopefully inspiration has grabbed your hand today!
Sending you my best thoughts.
