shireboundI just watched the tribute to Heath Ledger that aired on the E! Network last night, and it was beautiful. He really was just getting started in life and in his career.
(It's supposed to air again on Thursday, July 17, at 8 p.m.)
When I think about all the stories we're writing, the art, sculpture, dance, poetry, graphics, baking, raising children or pets or just working to maintain friendships... the incredible surge of creativity we all experience and make time for in our lives -- it just makes me feel really good. However long or short a life, we all have some precious spark that adds something to the world.
I'm reminded of a wonderful Buddy Ebsen quote that I heard in 2003 when *he* passed away. He was asked why he took up painting in his 80's, after his acting career was over. His answer was, "Every day you go to bed without having created something that didn't exist that morning, is a day lost."
I think I'll go do some writing, and maybe bake some cookies.
