Do NOT scare me like that. I thought for a moment that you had died. Damn formatting. The way it was presented on the page made it seem as though you’d passed into the veil–and way too early, too, I might add.
Me too! Thank god, I clicked on the link in my email. Anyway, glad you’re not dead. Take care and get some good writing done. :)
Same here! Thank goodness…
I thought the same thing! Happy all is well with you, Anne!
Robert M. Pirsig (April 24, 2017). “The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.”
Denis Johnson (May 24, 2017). “Talk into my bullet hole. Tell me I’m fine.”
Thanks you for these, and both great quotes.
I love the quote that describes writer as: ‘all of us quietly doing our thing, trying to matter’.
Thanks for this. Inspiring and yes, we need to honor those who help us get to the keyboard, remembering their words and the beauty and power of them.
Carpe diem.

“American men are allotted just as many tears as American women. But because we are forbidden to shed them, we die long before women do, with our hearts exploding or our blood pressure rising or our livers eaten away by alcohol because that lake of grief inside us has no outlet. We, men, die because our faces were not watered enough.”

Great additions. I loved the Prince of Tides, but I’d forgotten that quote. And Carrie…
Definitely Carrie Fisher the writer — and Leonard Cohen, and Dennis Johnson!
Love this tribute and thank you so much for sharing it.

Thanks–excellent reminder. For years now I’ve had the William James quote pinned on a board where I can see it:
I will act as though what I do makes a difference.
Honor and Respects to them ALL…Just Beautiful… Inspirational for my book completing..
Wonderful post. Thanks, Anne, and the commenters who added names. Anne, I enjoyed meeting you in October in Illinois and I’m excited about your forthcoming book.
