Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair by Anne Lamott
4.0
Everything Anne Lamott writes is a breath of fresh air for my soul.
"When you love something like reading - or drawing or music or nature - it surrounds you with a sense of connection to something great. If you are lucky enough to know this, then your search for meaning involves whatever that Something is. It's an alchemical blend of affinity and focus that takes us to a place within that feels as close as we ever get to 'home.' It's like pulling into our own train station after a long trip - joy, relief, a pleasant exhaustion." p.22-23
"There is meaning in focus, concentration, attention. I now notice almost every single bird that flies by, as well as every single butterfly. I pay attention to most plain old butterflies, not just the ones in tiaras or argyle socks. Butterflies and birds are like one perfect teaspoon of creation." p. 87
