Talk About Love

“It ought to make us feel ashamed

when we talk like we know what we're talking about

when we talk about love.”

―Raymond Carver

Homesick

My Mom asked Imogen, who was staying over, if she was homesick. Imogen said "no." My Mom then asked her if she knows what homesick means. Imogen said "yes, it's when you throw up at home."

On the Subject of the Soul

Developing one's vision
is a lifelong enterprise.
-Poet Tess Gallagher

Waged in Love

The mother's battle for her child with sickness, with poverty, with war, with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life needs to become a common human battle, waged in love and in the passion for survival.

―Adrienne Rich (1929-2012)

Make Them Crepes

"Valérie Trierweiler [the First Lady of France], who has three teenage sons, struggles with feeling guilty about being a good mother, and discusses the issue in a more relatable way than, say, Ann Romney. 'I've shared the fate of many working mothers, I felt guilty like them,' Trierweiler said. 'I took Wednesdays off to see my children and make them crepes.' She turned down a foreign correspondent gig because 'I wanted to stay with them.'"

We Love You So

“You cannot write for children.

They're much too complicated.

You can only write books that are of interest to them.”

Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)
