I'm looking through a small catalogue of Uncommon Gifts, and one of them is a pillow with a Winnie the Pooh Statement on it:
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you."
The statement strikes me as strange and I want to disagree until I think of Winnie the Pooh saying it. I read the Tao of Pooh a long while ago and liked it.
And, all the life-changing reads you've introduced me to, like:
A Just Anger Marge Piercy
Anger shines through me. Anger shines through me. I am a burning bush. My rage is a cloud of flame. My rage is a cloud of flame in which I walk seeking justice like a precipice. How the streets of the iron city flicker, flicker, and the dirty air fumes. Anger storms between me and things, transfiguring, transfiguring. A good anger acted upon is beautiful as lightning and swift with power. A good anger swallowed, a good anger swallowed clots the blood to slime.
