The search is the meaning, the search for beauty, love, kindness and restoration in this difficult, wired and often alien modern world. The miracle is that we are here, that no matter how undone we’ve been the night before, we wake up every morning and are still here. It is phenomenal just to be. – Anne Lamott

Lovely!
I love the things that she says, and the way she says them.
Cecilia,
She has a new book out. It is called Stitches. I just bought my copy this weekend. Hope we can discuss it.
I don’t think I have ever read a book by Anne Lamott, but I really like the quote.
Anne Lamott is one of my favorite authors. She has a written a book about writing and life called “Bird By Bird.” Her other books are also insightful. My favorites are Traveling Mercies and Plan B. She recently published a book called Stitches. Check her work out if you have a chance. I believe her words will resonate with you.
I needed that.
