We’ve got some more wisdom for this weekend, for this weekend is certainly wise…
Franny just told me that author Madeleine L’Engle died. She is best know for A Wrinkle in Time. She was 88 and died Thursday of natural causes on Thursday. I don’t know her work very well but Franny just IM’d me a beautiful quote that was in her NY Times obit…
“Why does anybody tell a story?” Ms. L’Engle once asked, even though she knew the answer.
“It does indeed have something to do with faith,” she said, “faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically.”
Rest In Peace, Madeleine. I hope that it matters.

Newmy, that’s very deep.
I loved Madeleine L’Engle. I tried to be pen pals with her but she refused me. I used to hold a grudge but now she’s dead and I forgive her. For the New Year. And she was probably a very busy woman. Writing and stuff.
