And did you get what
You wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved to feel myself
Beloved on the earth.

Raymond Carver

Quoted in an email on a list I'm on - for some reason this just made me feel unbearably sad.

I went to a seminar about documentary film finance and the man asked people how they described themselves when asked what they were. Apparently if we weren't prepared to call ourselves 'documentary' makers we should go and 'bake cakes'. And I'm thinking 'Don't diss the cakes - its a lot harder to produce a decent Victoria Sponge than you think.'
