Off to do some research on her....right after my "help me not be such an ass" prayer;)Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772781079345535295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142705807761308348.post-28148741362653934192013-07-09T16:14:20.653-05:002013-07-09T16:14:20.653-05:00Love the boot tribute!

I got this book around Christmas and it's sitting on my nightstand. I've devoured it in small, sporadic servings-- not cover-to-cover--but it's really great stuff. I have many of her books, and she's so quote-worthy. If you haven't already, "Like" her on Facebook and she will post little musings much like her essays every week or so. Her ideas on prayer remind me of a poem I love by Mary Oliver (another woman with great thoughts):<br /><br /><br />Praying<br /><br />It doesn’t have to be<br />the blue iris, it could be<br />weeds in a vacant lot, or a few<br />small stones; just<br />pay attention, then patch<br />a few words together and don’t try<br />to make them elaborate, this isn’t<br />a contest but the doorway<br />into thanks, and a silence in which<br />another voice may speak.<br /><br />- Mary Oliver<br /><br /><br />Beautiful, eh?<br /><br />Most of the time, however, I can better relate to Anne's lament: "Help me not be such an ass!" :-)Melissa.Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198830226674247176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142705807761308348.post-73841488821905250232013-07-05T12:39:29.809-05:002013-07-05T12:39:29.809-05:00I'm glad you liked it, Mom.
