Words that know me

From the inside cover of my last journal:

"To be engrossed by something outside ourselves is a powerful antidote for the rational mind, the mind that so frequently has its head up its own ass - seeing things in such a narrow and darkly narcissistic way that it presents a colo-rectal theology, offering hope to no one." - Anne Lamott in Bird by Bird

The bittersweet joy of seeing yourself in someone else's words.
I'll try not to give you all too many enemas.
