Laura Bartnick is reading Facing the Dawn: There are poignant and tragic aspects to this early story, but then the details of every moment felt tedious, too clean, similar to the author's own grief?In my own grief, sleep and rest and meaningful conversations were my help .This book wasn't helpful in that regard, and the love interest was predictable. I was hoping for some depth.

Quotes by Laura Bartnick  (?)

“There are other sacred ordinances. When we think of them, we see communion, marriage, and baptism. Really, all three ordinances are theater pieces depicting God’s relationship with His beloved.”
Laura Bartnick, Being Creative

“As a young woman in college, I had no inkling about the sufferings of old age. Proper communication would have informed me and transformed the situation, but in the dearth of it, there was chaos, even horror. The memory of it was shoved into a container at the back of my mind, and there it stayed until this past year. Could I have been more creative in finding answers and making sure the woman found peace? This kind of experience is the good dirt of a writer.”
Laura Bartnick, Being Creative

“Inspiration consists of two-sided communication. From one person, expression flows into sensitive ears, recognition to the eyes, tastes to the tongue, or as a scent to a nose. Information flows from the one who is touching to another being touched and into the mind of the recipient. This is communication.”
Laura Bartnick, Being Creative

“We have to recognise that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence.”
Cornel West, Breaking Bread: Insurgent Black Intellectual Life

“Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.”
Cornel West

“You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people if you don't serve the people.”
Cornel West

“The country is in deep trouble. We've forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word.”
Cornel West

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
Mark Twain
