Book cover for The Ones We Choose
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting, or even having a relationship with him. It means understanding what happened, looking beyond your version of the past and seeing things from someone else’s perspective.”

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”

“Certainty is missing the point entirely.”
Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

Anne Lamott
“Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.”
Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott
“I think joy and sweetness and affection are a spiritual path. We're here to know God, to love and serve God, and to be blown away by the beauty and miracle of nature. You just have to get rid of so much baggage to be light enough to dance, to sing, to play. You don't have time to carry grudges; you don't have time to cling to the need to be right.”
Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott
“God sent Jesus to join the human experience, which means to make a lot of mistakes. Jesus didn't arrive here knowing how to walk. He had fingers and toes, confusion, sexual feelings, crazy human internal processes. He had the same prejudices as the rest of his tribe: he had to learn that the Canaanite woman was a person. He had to suffer the hardships and tedium and setbacks of being a regular person. If he hadn't the incarnation would mean nothing.”
Anne Lamott, Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith
