A Year with EB White
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."----- from Charlotte's Web I am a soul always drawn and fascinated by the idea of " A Year of...". A Year of Rumi. A Year of Calvin and Hobbes. A year cooking with Julia Child. A project that provides guidance for the year and a ruler we can measure inward growth in the course of our circle around the sun. One year, after an early marriage and an unsurprising--except to me--early divorce, I came across a book by Sue Hubbell titled A Country Year. I didn't plan for it to take a year to read, but it did.

Hey DBSO:
ReplyDeleteCrazy! I was watching this video the other night. I'm so fascinated by this inter-species communication and play. In fact, I think the guy who wrote a book about play recently mentioned the polar bears and dogs on Krista Tippett's Speaking of Faith show on NPR. I think he called the dogs huskies, which I'm fairly sure isn't right. I think they're Malamutes, but I digress.
It's wonderful to see you posting again.
I hope all is well in CinCity -- or have you moved?
Happy New Year to one of my all-time fave bloggers!
