Backstory

Ray Bradbury said, "We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out."

It was quoted on page 228 of the November 2012 issue of READER'S DIGEST. I do not know the original source of the quotation; RD did not give the source. For some reason, the quotation reminds me of the children's song about the little teapot.

It is from "Zen in the Art of Writing" 1990. Thanks for sharing it, Toby. ; )
