This blog post focuses on Ray Bradbury and his book called: Zen in the Art of Writing. One of my favorite lines from Zen In the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury (prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays) is this:
“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”
A short post today, about Ray Bradbury, from his book Zen in the Art of Writing. A quote sent with a simple blessing to friends and readers: May you tip your full cup over and let the beautiful stuff fall out. Whether it be kindness, creativity, laughter, poetry, writing, your art or anything else that will help make the world a little better place to live.
In the meantime, do you have a favorite quote you’d like to share? It can be about anything.
P.S. I am an ex-shrink who writes novels. Check out my books here.

Great choice, Susan!
And from one of our lovely email subscribers:
“Hi Susan, The following quote meant so much to me when a friend wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to me when my husband was dying. “In the midst of winter, I found within myself an invincible summer”. I love meaningful quotes, this one by Camus is one of my favorite.
I hope your summer is full to the brim with happiness.
Mary”
One of mine is a tea cup quote too: `I want a clean cup,’ interrupted the Hatter: `let’s all move one place on.’ …
Good old Alice in Wonderland.
I like to think this speaks to our sense of adventure, or perhaps forgiveness?
