Reality

I'm still working my way through Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" and enjoying it. I tend to read Anne Lamott when I need to reconnect with some sort of more earthy reality. When life has become too intangible, and I need to ground myself a little.

And yet, I fell in love with this line from Bird by Bird tonight:

"Reality is unforgivingly complex." (pg. 104)

How very true. A truth that I'm feeling deeply these days.
