Of Pollyanna and Marcus Aurelius

Talk about a rabbit hole.

This post began as a celebration of spring and how watching nature wake up reminds me that no matter how cold the winter might be, it doesn’t last forever. I thought it a fitting metaphor for life and the world today.

If I was a poet or aspiring writer, I would find this book very useful. Smith writes beautifully, and her pep talks will hit home for many writers. Sadly, I could not connect with the writing.
