Much worthy
You should check out Anne Lamott. I’ve been listening to her book Traveling Mercies on tape as I drive about the last few days and I have been totally captured by tale she tells about her undulating life of divine hide-and-seek. Totally, totally reccomended. Her story is raw and real and so insightful. She does what all good writers do- she speaks the words our hearts have longed to speak, but never had the patience, or strength, or insight to do it right. I’ve been struck by the fact that Anne couldn’t have come from a more different origin- her parents Northern California, liberal itellectual atheists, mine Bible Belt, conservative, evangelical artists and yet so many of the twisty, gnarled pathways she walked are mine too and I can’t help but feel a visceral heart-kinship with her, like a dear, older sister that I’ve just found again. Come to think of it, I guess that’s exactly what she is.
