Cara, I'm getting increasingly concerned that every time I read your work I feel like you're somehow reading my thoughts; somehow untangling the knotted ball of yarn that is my mind and using to create the warmest and coziest sweater. You always manage to describe things I didn't know I felt until I saw them in your words.
It's like that Baldwin quote: "You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important." I suppose that means you are my Dostoyevsky, do with that what you will.
Oh my gosh, Gloria!! What an honor! It is so easy to get wrapped up in the perceived individuality of experience; sometimes I think absolutely no one navigates this world the way I do and it’s so, so lonely and sad. So this comment means a lot to me! More than you know! I feel this way about your writing, too. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Best best best wishes! Stay warm!
hi cara :) im reading this right next to you. its been a hard week and i've listened in on a hard conversation. but i am always astounded by how you process everything, you are so wise and then you make it beautiful in your writing. i admire you and im honored to be someone you wave at. you deserve nothing but precious passing kindness and beautiful enduring love. i hope winter is wonderful to you
Cara I was so touched by your empathic responses about your spider friends. You are a truly sensitive soul and I appreciate your comments about time and changes. Honey the older I get ,the more I realize that time allows for changes, some good, some no so good, and some great. When we stop worrying about them is when we can learn to appreciate them and grow as humans..
I adore this Cara!!! The snow always makes everything so different, in good ways and in bad ways, but always in a way I'm grateful for. I'm glad I got to see you in the snow yesterday, it totally suits you. :)
I appreciate your collection of images in your little note!!!!!!! I think we are two birds who accidentally landed on the same branch, but by some nonbiological reason decided not to move. Certainly, certainly! <3
