June 21from the Summer Blog Challenge -- Most recent words of wisdom you heard that stuck with you.
Have you ever had one of those books recommended to you that you resisted reading?
I have authors like that: people say “Have you read thus and so?” and I say “No…..” and over and over again “Thus and So” shows up in your consciousness.
This is what happened to me with Terry Tempest Williams. The other night her book When Women Were Birds insisted I buy it. I gave in. I took the insistent book off the shelf and bought it. I started reading and was hooked. It was like a reunion with one of my oldest and dearest friends!
In fact, there is wisdom on nearly every page!
I have gleaned a couple quotes here. No, the only “aloud hearing” of this wisdom was me reading the words aloud to me and myself alone, but nonetheless, these are the most recent words of wisdom, especially sticky, that I have come across:
“Beware of the charismatic wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
“I take a breath and sidestep my fear and begin speaking from the place where beauty and bravery meet – within the chambers of a quivering heart.”
“It is not the lips of a prince that will save us, it is our own lips, speaking.”
