Backward Living


I have been living backward for too many years. Toni Morrison’s inspiring quote calls for a change: “We are traditionally rather proud of ourselves for having slipped creative work in there between the domestic chores and obligations. I'm not sure we deserve such big A-pluses for all that. ” (from Newsweek interview, 1981)

I want to live a life in which I slip the domestic chores and obligations in there between the creative work. I want to live a life so packed with creativity that I don’t even notice the domestic chores and obligations.
