Maybe the flowery words obscured the message for you. If it helps, I first came across the quote in a blog post by Austin Kleon[0], an author, talking about people who say they have a book in them. "I never feel like I have a book in me. I always feel like there’s a book around me. It’s like I’m a planet and there’s all this space junk orbiting me, and all the junk starts smashing together and forming book chapters. My job is to grab that stuff around me and shape it into something."
