Read other letters about this article
two columns stand out in my mind:
1. the one in which the woman lost her engagement ring in a lake or river and you suggested that the couple return to the spot each year to go fishing (hoping to find the ring in belly of the fish they catch). 'twas a beautiful response.
2. your advice to the writer battling writer's block. you said to go curl up on the couch for a while, be quiet and still. maybe you didn't say quiet and still, but that was what i took from it. there often seem to be two components to your letters - the advice and the spirit of the advice (the advice-ness) and, while the advice may only speak to the letter writer specifically, its spirit speaks to everyone. anyway, the letter to the person with writer's block was terrific and helped this writer greatly.
thanks for taking your position so seriously. you do a hell of a job.
