Such a Wonder

re-reading E.L. Konigsburg’s ‘The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place.’ such a wonder. write the paragraph that rang like a bell last nite:
“He knew that she had a tendency to mistake rules, her rules, for principles. She did not bend because she did not have enough confidence to know when or how far.”
circles back to fear, & you feel you have your own to deal with. don’t need anyone stoking the fire.

Dominant Hand: I need to find some way to inspire serenity.
for your own sake, which most definitely includes your health, yes you do. you started listening to Jonathan Safran Foer on ‘Fresh Air’ & immediately felt calmer. so intelligently down-to-earth & well-spoken. he was like a voice in the wilderness.

[After writing about my admiration for Jonathan Safran Foer & meeting him when Everything is Illuminated was first published]: artists of any kind always energize you. could use a ‘zap’ now, too!
