Thankful Thursday: Ritual
Is this a sign of the times, or just good advertising? A papeleria in Loreto, Mexico offers a choice: paper or scissors, with a serving of nice.
RITUALS TO BELIEVE IN
I do believe in the ritual.
— Linda Gregg, from The Light Continues
Wake slow.
Give thanks.
Drink coffee.
Make a list.
Nod to neighbors
and strangers too.
Open a door.
Say please often,

| Wally Lamb is one among my favorite authors, but the writing in this novel felt off. Though the story is heartbreaking, the characters feel one-dimensional and flat. | |

I'm glad to read this new-to-me writer, and will seek more of her work. The first half of the novel was riveting, while the second section lagged with a distinct change in tone. Still, such an interesting novel with important themes that the author m ...more |

I love this collection! Years ago I read Jane McCafferty's "One Heart: A Novel" and was wowed but then I somehow lost track of this writer. Now, I'm reading her other work, and this book of short stories is a keeper. McCafferty is such a good writer ...more |

| I should have read the description more closely; this book is comprised entirely of journal entries. Uggh. A diary needs an editor — even the scribbles of a Nobel Prize winner. | |

“Memory, when it juts, retreats, recovers, shows us how to hold the darkness, how to breathe.”

know your urgent heart, how it beats
between the thin skin of yes and no.”

“Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed? Can the writer isolate and vivify all in experience that most deeply engages our intellects and our hearts? Can the writer renew our hope for literary forms? Why are we reading if not in hope that the writer will magnify and dramatize our days, will illuminate and inspire us with wisdom, courage, and the possibility of meaningfulness, and will press upon our minds the deepest mysteries, so that we may feel again their majesty and power? What do we ever know that is higher than that power which, from time to time, seizes our lives, and reveals us startlingly to ourselves as creatures set down here bewildered? Why does death so catch us by surprise, and why love? We still and always want waking.”

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
