Basements
I listened to and read some really terrific things yesterday. They are excerpts from the book “Cold Tangerines” by Shauna Niequist, and they so resonated with me that as I listened, I sat and wept. I had previously heard the author in a radio interview, and my friend Jamie had recomended the book to me. I’ve yet to read it, but for some reason, those references made an impression on me and I made my way to her website. Reading this book is now a MUST. The words in this book are as if I had thought and written them myself…only far more eloquent. The rhythm of her words is a self aware stream of consciousness remiscent of Anne Lamott. I can’t wait to read the whole thing. There are three audio excerpts and three written chapters on her website. The one the blew me away was “Basements.” Click, listen, and know you are not alone.
