Wise words from an old friend
“I make a living doing nothing I don’t love to do, namely making music and writing words. I do not remember not wanting to do them. As far as I can tell, I could always play the piano and I could always write. I decided some time ago that this is how I would live, by my gifts, doing what I felt I was meant to do. I resolved to get up every day and work whether I had any paid work to do or not. I vowed to support myself at whatever level my music and my writing would bring in, and to give it away when I couldn’t sell it. I haven’t had a boring day since. That’s my advice: quit that job. Jump! I’m sorry I ever did anything else, to tell the truth, although it wouldn’t leave me with much of a story to tell if I hadn’t.
