wish you well

by David Baldacci

I'm reading this book a second time. There is something haunting about it.

Today, I came across these fantastic words:

1. ........the distinct beauty of the language never overshadowed the blunt force of the story.

and

2. Excitement, nervousness, panic and hope competed for space on the small landscape of their faces.

Josef Pieper

....we have commodified our aliveness so much as to mistake making a living for having a life.


.....the strange tapestry of tenderness and wilderness of which the human soul is woven.

Charles Bukowski

on writing...

I didn’t pay a hell of a lot of attention to grammar, and when I write it is for the love of the word, the color, like tossing paint on a canvas, and using a lot of ear and having read a bit here and there, I generally come out ok, but technically I don’t know what’s happening, nor do I care.
