John P. Schulz: Find The Living Room

Quotes and Notes #360, October 30

Look, Mom, I can fly over the ocean

“Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.”—Rod Serling—

The funny thing is that we are all writers—of one sort or another. We make up our own stories and pack our heads full of them, mixing these tales in with the story that we are living. I can fly over the ocean or leap from the top of one skyscraper to another—in my mind.

If I am able to perform such amazing feats with the story-maker in my head, then I can also write into the story that I am an amazing, happy person who can tiptoe gently through life, one step at the time.

I can share a smile with everyone I meet today
I can be the best me I’ve ever been
Everything is going to be all right.

John P. Schulz—“Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days.”
