My cat Stella has had a very hard week. She’ll pull through because she’s a tough old broad, but it’s been a scary couple of days.
In honor of 15+ years of friendship with my sweet girl, here is a charming quote from Ray Bradbury on treating ideas like cats.
That's the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you. If you try to approach a cat and pick it up, hell, it won't let you do it. You've got to say, "Well, to hell with you." And the cat says, "Wait a minute. He's not behaving the way most humans do." Then the cat follows you out of curiosity: "Well, what's wrong with you that you don't love me?”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You
Brilliant, right?
Too true.
Great quote! Hugs for Stella.
