This morning on The Writer’s Almanac I
read a quote from an author, Andrea Barrett, whose birthday is also today: “I
want to tell stories about the thing I observe.” Simple as that, simple is that. It struck a note. Born on the
same date, I believe she and I share an affinity for passing on what we find. I
want to write my essays about the things I learn and, sometimes, the things I
learn about myself. Even at the ripe old age of seventy-five, I’m still
learning.
The blogger Corey Amaro posts to her Tongue in Cheek every
day. Every day. Some days, like today,
she’ll post just an interesting picture. I think I might do that now from time
to time.
