in the Dominican

 
 
I love that she tells me everything will be all right.
I love that she tells me this again and again.
She's my mother and that's what mother's say.
Bob Marley says it too but he says every LITTLE thing gonna be all right
and that  strikes me as an appropriate qualifier.

  1. I hope when my books are eventually published, you'll like them. You are a writer's best marketer, the way you connect their words with your life, with your art. I bought They Left Us Everything right after I opened your email a few weeks ago, and devoured it in one sitting (something that was once the norm, but now, being of a woman of a certain age who has read more books than many - some good, some not - well, it's been a while since that couldn't-put-it-down happened). Bought My Puny Sorrows this week after reading your quote in audio version so I can listen as I stitch. Keep reading . . . and keep sending snippets. You've helping me find my way back to the enjoyment of reading.

    I see that in this cloth, by the way. You, sending out snippets that speak to you and photos of your works in progress. The way they radiate out, touching other lives. xx
