(I started this blog post ages ago and found it today when I was going through all my unposted drafts. I love this quote too much to delete it, so I’m sharing it today.)
I was wasting time on the net, pinning on Pinterest and reading a plethora of miscellaneous articles about this and that. I followed a weaving trail of links to end at a very interesting review of the book So Much More by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin at Charity Grace. On that blog is posted this quote:
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create
something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity. ~Albert Hsu
Isn’t that just lovely?
