Seeing the words develop into something real is very gratifying.

Having people read your work gives such pride and reinforces the fact that the work (TOIL) was all worth it - from the first notes to editing to layout to photo.(less)

Usually the subject is someone or something I witnessed or interacted with that moves me to make the first scratch on paper.

Last week, when I heard about Linkin Park's Chester's death- I wrote rather furiously for about two hours. We had had a brief encounter backstage at a music event several years ago. My memory was a blip, nothing particularly important, but.....sad in that you don't know whose life you have affected.(less)

Suzie’s Quotes

“Often we ask ourselves
to make absolute sense
out of what just happens,
and in this way, what we are practicing

is suffering,
which everybody practices,
but strangely few of us
grow graceful in.”
― Tony Hoagland

“So the avenues we walk down,
full of bodies wearing faces,
are full of hidden talent:
enough to make pianos moan,
sidewalks split,
streetlights deliriously flicker.”
― Tony Hoagland
