Maeve Binchy's passing has got me thinking...
That's it for her, the end.
Of course she leaves a legacy and it will probably be a very long time before she's forgotten, but still... there is nothing more she will do; at least not physically.
What if 30 years ago she never decided to write. Or never took those first brave steps to approach a publisher. Would the world be the same? I would think not. For every story she told and wrote, for every character and novel she created a life as changed, not least her own, and that all combinated in a change in the world.
The world is a different place because Maeve Binchy wrote...
She was brave... she did what she wanted.
How would the world be if you did what you wanted... how would the world change? How would your world change?
We rarely regret the things we did but we always regret the things we didn't do!
