Every Patti Smith novel I have read which currently only totals 2, has taught me the beauty in the everyday stillness of life. She somehow looks at something that many others would just walk by and turns it into art. She has mastered the skill of romanticizing the mundane. In a perfect world, I would have the opportunity to sit down with her, for a cup of coffee, and talk, maybe about her life or maybe not. The amount of experiences this woman has had is insane, she has totally taken the phrase follow your dreams literally. Something about how she moves about the world is all-encompassing and I wish I had that skill. I just love the way she looks at society and the present even through the hardship she has faced. It's poetic.
