"you don't think your way to a new kind of living, you live your way into a new kind of thinking"

alone.

In solitude we grasp for any scrap of humanity we can find - in film, books, television, in the grocery store line, and the wave of a neighbor. Solitude heightens our people-sense; every look, touch, and word begin to mean the world to us.

things i like by Anne Lamott

“And I felt like my heart had been so thoroughly and irreparably broken that there could be no real joy again, that at best there might eventually be a little contentment. Everyone wanted me to get help and rejoin life, pick up the pieces and move on, and I tried to, I wanted to, but I just had to lie in the mud with my arms wrapped around myself, eyes closed, grieving, until I didn’t have to anymore.”

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” 

Easy, Yummy, No-Knead Bread

Even though it takes 2 days to make, in reality you'll spend mere minutes making this beautiful bread.

It comes out with a beautiful, floured, golden crust and is soft on the inside.

I found the recipe for this killer bread in - of all places - a New York Times article.

BAKE AND ENJOY!
