More From Chris Evert

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. if i got any comfort as i set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. he's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. if the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. and if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another.
Real Nice Character
We want everything. all the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. give us only everything, and we will be content. and, after all, cinderella, you have had your day. some little dogs never get theirs. you must not be greedy. you have known happiness. the palace was paradise for those few months, and the prince's arms were about you, cinderella, the prince's kisses on your lips; the gods themselves cannot take that from you.

A story, to me, has a particular sprite, like the angel of the spirit of that story - and it's my job to attend to what it wants to do. when i tell the story of cinderella, the sprite does not want me to make it into an allegory of the fall of communism. the sprite would be unhappy if i did that.

Zen has an expression, "nothing special." when you understand "nothing special," you realize that everything is special. everything's special and nothing's special. everything's spiritual and nothing's spiritual. it's how you see, it's what eyes you're looking through, that matters.

If you have been afraid that your love of beautiful flowers and the flickering flame of the candle is somehow less spiritual than living in starkness and ugliness, remember that he who created you to be creative gave you the things with which to make beauty and the sensitivity to appreciate and respond to his creation.

The only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. you're only here now; you're only alive in this moment.
