Painting and Reading

I have six or eight pictures in various states of unfinished-ness. Some days I just sit and stare at them and other days I can't even walk in and look at them and some days I work on three at once.

I have discovered that if a writer has great things to say but his language is klunky I can't read him. But when an author writes magnificently I'm ready to read his writing even if it's a book about asphalt paving.

Exactly!

Love your site. The Buechner quotes lead me here. There have been times when Buechner and Thomas Merton help me keep body and soul together.


( Blogger really makes this a fight to leave you a response. )
