Sunday May 11th
I must revise my previous statement about best moments for I now have a new favorite “best” moment. Or I should say best hours. Last night’s book launch at Book Passages was more than I could have hoped for. The eager faces of many friends and family members was like looking into a sea of love and with that support, telling the story of writing Time & Transformation and reading excerpts from it, was a pure delight.
Thank you, thank you all so very much. The years of sitting alone struggling to bring the story into a coherent form are now totally worth it. There are times that I love being alone but I must admit to having felt a bit deprived of human contact these last years. I’m encouraged and inspired to pursue the promotion of the book and to have many more best moments and hours sharing the work with the world.
For those of you who get nervous when someone gets too bubbly, never fear, I was trained by a mother who was always on the lookout for too much happiness and would squish it like a bug when she saw it appear. I know better than to be too happy. But I am going to indulge in it for a little while before coming back to the ground and the day-to-dayness of life. Pure happiness is so rare.
The next reading for the book is Saturday, May 17TH at the Orinda Bookstore at 1PM. For directions go to Orindabooks.com.
