Permission to suck

Posted on | February 6, 2010 | Comments Off

Gottago referenced the Permission to Suck site on Facebook. I was intrigued by the title and have been informed by the content. The video about the Apple tablet is from that site as well.

. . . and an error isn’t failure unless you give up the flight. Authentic creatives have a passion for doing; they can’t not-do, and the results are secondary to the act . . .

Bruce DeBoer in an article on the Permission to Suck site

The phrase: “they can’t not-do” is especially powerful for me. I find great inspiration from seeing older people who are struck anew by a creative urge. Gottago has it in her photography. There are more and more of us who are more than 60 years old. And we are finding great joy in the advanced years.

Walk well. God is love.
