Advice for writers.

January 17, 2012
This was my Rob Brezsny horoscope for the week of Jan. 12, but it’s good advice for writers of any astrological sign.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

“A writer — and, I believe, generally all persons — must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource,” said author Jorge Luis Borges. “All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”

(Rob says:) I agree that this advice isn’t just for writers, but for everyone. And it so happens that you are now in an astrological phase when adopting such an approach would bring you abundant wisdom and provide maximum healing. So get started, Leo: Wander through your memories, reinterpreting the difficult experiences as rich raw material that you can use to beautify your soul and intensify your lust for life.

Dear Rob:
You are so right! Even the embarrassments.
But I’m not sure I could deal
with any more lust for life than I already feel.

Love,
Diva
