Original what?

One of the most liberating thoughts I’ve had lately is that I can’t be completely original. How can I originate a thought without thinking of things God has already made, said, or thought of in the first place. I can only rearrange. That means that all those things I almost wrote down, but decided were too unoriginal, were about as original as the things I actually thought were original. In the end, one only kicks oneself for what one didn’t put into writing…or put in the wrong place. I’ve done my share of both…
