Maybe for punishment the editors will insist Anne read every single letter here slowly & solemnly aloud without
a single sip of water. Would that fix everything?
She is one funny, down to earth woman being as richly present in life as possible for her, with a gift for sharing her
perspective like the witty friend you sometimes wish would please talk about something else, but she won't just yet
because she has stuff to work through & if you'll hold on a second she'll get to the funny part where she is so human
& fallible & trying to like herself anyway & coming up short so many times & she is blessed enough to be different
from most of us in that she receives pay for writing about it.
I am betting she knows about this blessing.
I just wanted to climb on board here as someone who has a vast appetite for reading---different things for
different reasons & say that I am sure there is a fine reason for Anne Lamott's writing
& fine reason for this comment feature on Salon.
I don't know what those reasons are, but I celebrate all these words if they make thoughts happen & not
just judgments. Keeps me curious anyway.
