I hope she doesn’t mind, but I have been kind of “hard of writing” lately. I recently read this and wanted to share it. It’s like sharing something on facebook isn’t it?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Here goes…

“In the center of our speed, in the core of our forward movement, we are often confused and lonely. That is why we have turned so full-heartedly to the memoir form. We have an intuition it will save us. Writing is the act of reaching across the abyss of isolation to share and reflect. It’s not a diet to become skinny, but a relaxation into the fat of our lives. Often, without realizing it, we are on a quest, a search for meaning. What does our time on this earth add up to?”

Maybe next time, I’ll have something of my own to share.
