Reading Jeanette Winterson again -- like visiting a friend you haven't seen for years but always knew was your soul mate. How lovely to be 'made' to read again these wonderful authors of my past! Teaching day, so not much writing done, but everything now connects -- as if everything I do and read and hear and see is helping me towards a greater understanding of my life, as it is framed in terms of my writing project. An inspirational way to live!
Children so sweet today -- in the post office, everyone oohing and aahing over them, and I could think to myself 'I get to be with them!' Then someone says, as someone so often does, "You've got your hands full," and I think back and say, "Not as full as they used to be," but thinking, I am so blessed -- yes my hands are Full -- in the best possible way -- my heart, my life is full, and wanting, as always, to fall down on the ground in wonder and worshipfulness. I got to be a mother. And now I get to write too! Truly, what a wonderful life.
