“I suppose I could have sat back and pitied myself. For a time I wondered if I'd ever be able to go on to a stage and perform again.

“People have a very limited idea of what being creative is - playing the guitar or the flute or writing poetry - so people go on writing rubbish in the name of poetry. You have to find out what you can do and what you cannot do. Everybody cannot do everything. You have to search and find your destiny. You have to grope in the dark, I know. It is not very clear-cut what your destiny is, but that's how life is. And it is good that one has to search for it - in the very search, something grows.” PeopleKnowsWritingIdeasLife IsNamesGrowsCan DoDarkDestinyCreativeClearCuttingGoes OnGuitarBe CreativeOur DestinyYour DestinyRubbishWriting PoetryFlutes Author:Rajneesh
