Fun Pictures and Quotes

I rarely have to Zoom but couldn't resist being Flannery for a few minutes :)

Some quotes I came across last week:

Read like a butterfly; write like a bee. ~ Philip Pullman.

Attention is the beginning of devotion. ~ Mary Oliver.

Jesus has so incomprehensible love for us that He wills that we have a share with Him in the salvation of souls. He wills to do nothing without us. The Creator of the universe awaits the prayer of a poor little soul to save other souls redeemed like it at the price of all His Blood. ~ St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the Little Flower.

And a favorite quote from Mary Flannery O'Connor: You shall know the truth, and it will make you odd.

Sue Detar took this picture of us at the author event last week. The place is swanky, with the lovely sound of water flowing over rocks and goldfish in the pond. And the theater didn't just have comfy chairs but couches. It'd be so fun to do writing workshops in that fabulous space. 

And isn't this little lizard adorable? It's the smallest one I've ever seen, practically translucent. My fellow-chorister, whom I'm going to miss terribly when she leaves for college in the fall, found him at our oyster roast gathering. And check out the Thunderbird!
