Moments of the Absurb
Here are just some moments I've captured that still can make me laugh. So if you could use a good laugh, enjoy!
Cow standing behind crumbling stone house.
ET at an airport somewhere
Kate on swan in Palm Springs during cold snap.
A balloon takes a walk.
Ronald McDonald giving a namaste blessing in Bangkok airport.
And below - this one you're on your own.

“The late John Gardner once said that there are only two plots in all of literature. You go on a journey or a stranger comes to town. Since women, for many years, were denied the journey, they were left with only one plot in their lives --
to await the stranger. Indeed, there is essentially no picaresque tradition among women novelists. While the latter part of the twentieth century has seen a change of tendency, women's literature from Austen to Woolf is by and large a literature about waiting, usually for love.”

“Recently I realized that silent is an anagram for listen. It is the voice that comes from the silence that the writer or artist must listen to.”

“We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”

“Writing of the narrative kind, and perhaps all writing, is motivated deep down, by a fear or and fascination with mortality - by a desire to make the risky trip to the underworld and to bring something or someone back from the dead. ”

Hi Mary:Glad to be connected. I listed your site on my blog http://theroadtopromise.blogspot.com/

I am good. At Kate's graduation this weekend, then back in NYC. Yes, come see me in NY. We'll have lunch at MOMA!
Loved seeing your books here today — we have the exact same taste. I LOVED March, I thought OK was spectacular (and I met her at Swarthmore recently) and had the same reaction to Brief Wondrous.HOw are you doing?
Hello, Miss Mary. So glad to see you here. And I have tucked into your head my desire to come see you and your kind invitation regarding the same. I await spring and a long-hoped for trip to NYC.
Margaret wrote: "Hi, Mary! Found a wonderful paper describing the library of Pope Sixtus IV the other day, and am about to incorporate some of the details into a scene. Hope your writing is going well, too."Hi Margaret, nice to hear from you. You know this student of mine has set up an online classroom for me with my private class and I'm thinking of doing the same for our Key West group. What do you think??? All I'm reading is school work these days, alas! I need something good. hope you are well. Mary
