Why yes, I DID see Anne Lamott in person. . .

. . .in Berkely. She was cute, but mostly she just read to us from her new book, which I found disappointing. In honor of her, though, I thought I'd include a quote I like from Traveling Mercies:

”This is the most profound spiritual truth I know: that even when we're most sure that love can’t conquer all, it seems to anyway. It goes down into the rat hole with us, in the guise of our friends, and there it swells and comforts. It gives us second winds, third winds, hundredth winds.”
