“Great artistic works are often based on solving several psychological problems simultaneously. In literature this is often accomplished by splitting apart the conflict and assigning each aspect to a different character. Marjie Rynearson, for instance, wrote an award-winning play, Jenny, about the meeting and reconciliation of two women: the mother of a murder victim and the mother of the murderer. Within the dialogue between the two characters she sought to resolve two sets of problems: the rage and grief of the victim's mother, and the horror, guilt, and grief of the murderer's mother. She worked on the play for several years, and only when it was finished did she realize that through it she was struggling to resolve her feelings about the suicide of her best friend. Rynearson had simultaneously been, in effect, both the friend of the victim and the friend of the perpetrator of the killing. The power of the work lay in its simultaneous resolution of conflicting problems.”

“Often, when I'm with her I have a tingling sensation of the present moment, even- or especially- when she reaches into her remarkable memory for tales of long-gone
times. She has always rejected the idea of eternity, and even the idea of living, like Wells and Gorky, for future generations, in favor of living in the here and now. "The most ferocious immanance," she called it... the hours of its operation mattered to her. She wished to know precisely when the water gushed and when it lay still. She watches the world and herself in the world (mind, body, feelings) with great intensity. "I always wanted to know myself before I die," she writes. "I worship time! I cherish it!" she told me now. "As a child, I felt it, the weight of time.”
