To Make A Great Flower Out Of Cactus.



(Today a friend sent me a picture of a cactus flower and asked "Isn't it pretty?" This is dedicated to those who appreciate its beauty)


I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert.

Some plants die from too much nurturing. They thrive better if left alone.

“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it's the answer to everything. To ''Why am I here?'' To uselessness. It's the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it's a cactus.”


- Enid Bagnold



Have I answered "Why do you write?".
