"to build your life according to this necessity." <br /><br />I'm trying, but I worry sometimes that everything will come tumbling down if I place writing on top of my teetering tower of blocks. I have to keep reminding myself that lives are not breakable and everything and everyone will carry on if they're destined to, whether I write or not.<br /><br />(Rilke's entire quote can be found here: http://theslowcookedsentence.blogspot.com/2011/01/resolution.html)Rachael Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392901385965329831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-3479417342355557682011-01-06T22:57:02.898-08:002011-01-06T22:57:02.898-08:00there. i've just read it. it highly amused me,...there. i've just read it. it highly amused me, and confirms my belief that time really is out there, for the grabbing. <br />i might have to dive into lamott now...<br />cheers for the link.nadine paduarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665345657592667666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-47707944282898144852011-01-06T16:18:51.070-08:002011-01-06T16:18:51.070-08:00I have read this article by Anne Lamott and was ha...I have read this article by Anne Lamott and was happy to see it again. Did you know we live on the same street? Yep, me and Anne . . . sometimes she says hi while she's out walking her dogs. In the time since she moved to our street, I have tried especially hard not to geek when I see her. Once I almost ran over her with my cart at The Container Store. That would have been bad.<br /><br />Also, I just discovered that there is an amazing old and almost falling down horse stables within walking distance of my house. You never know what you will find when you choose a new street for your daily walk.<br /><br />Nice photo you took there. You know I like it. :-)Shaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901572938845138938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-63365875999985299982011-01-06T08:32:17.796-08:002011-01-06T08:32:17.796-08:00I trust your recommendation and I will read this. ...I trust your recommendation and I will read this.

My favorite lines from the article:<br /><br />"creative expression, whether that means writing, dancing, bird-watching, or cooking, can give a person almost everything that he or she has been searching for: enlivenment, peace, meaning, and the incalculable wealth of time spent quietly in beauty." <br /><br />"Time is not free—that’s why it’s so precious and worth fighting for."<br /><br />"What fills us is real, sweet, dopey, funny life."<br /><br />Oh and I am so glad you directed me to two blogs I did not know of! Such treasures.Amelia PShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369970502817292944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-35562294964766545972011-01-06T06:03:06.648-08:002011-01-06T06:03:06.648-08:00Loved the article.

Inspires me to take an English class just so that I can have a teacher just like her.<br /><br />I loved her journal idea... writing what brings you wonder. Usually I use my journal to vent about things I don't want anyone else to hear. This year, I think I'll try something new.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts and for sharing them with us.Bethanyhttp://fiveboysandalady.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-66230243629541255692011-01-06T03:19:50.270-08:002011-01-06T03:19:50.270-08:00Sounds like an interesting read.

Her house wasn't immaculate. She wouldnt have won any trophies for housecleaning. Today I listened to her children stand up with such pain and recount what a marvellous mother she was. She was always there for her kids. And for those in need. Her children will always remember her and I am certain that their kids will know what a marvellous grandmother they had. Although I hadn't seen her in years, I'm so glad I took the time to go. And my daughter came too. That's how I spent my morning and it was time very well spent indeed.Through My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300798774076098054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-10935874026408405972011-01-05T18:22:18.616-08:002011-01-05T18:22:18.616-08:00Um... that was an awesome.
