My wonderful husband saw this on a ‘free books’ rack and brought it home to me. It’s an edition I don’t have with wonderful cover art. And there’s a little sticker inside the cover with an address in Boca Raton, Fl.
He gets me, that Don.
As I was sitting at my desk slogging through records and figures when he came in the door, this little present was a welcome respite.
I just finished The Overstory and I’m still reeling from the power and majesty within its pages. It’s surely one of the most meaningful books I have ever read – right up there in my Top Ten. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to do so. It’s long, dense, beautifully written, and ultimately, life-changing.
I’m not sure what I’m going to start next. I’ll figure that out later in the day.
We had the best time last night. Three of our former students were visiting. Rick, Doug, Don, Christine, Glen, Julie and I gathered round the table and shared stories and memories and caught up with each other. It was as if no time had passed. The three of them have wonderful lives. They’re doing well. They are, as they were when we first met them, formidable and beautiful human beings. To have a positive impact on someone’s life, no matter how minuscule in the larger picture, is its own reward. It was a very powerful and wonderful evening.
Today, more figures. And maybe some lawn mowing. We’ll see.
Happy Friday.
