Incite Full

Sometimes you read something, and it resonates within you. Cake would call this a bowel shaking revelation, or something similar. I can’t begin to describe how spot on the following paragraph is at many times in my life:

Her work was all she had or wanted. But there were times, like tonight, when she felt that sudden, peculiar emptiness, which was not emptiness, but silence, not despair, but immobility, as if nothing within her were destroyed, but everything stood still. Then she felt the wish to find a moment’s joy outside, the wish to be held as a passive spectator by some work or sight of greatness. Not to make it, she thought, but to accept; not to begin, but to respond; not to create, but to admire. I need it to let me go on, she though, because joy is one’s fuel

I’d say more about this, but either you get it, or you don’t.
