More From Anne Lamott

There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
A crippled child said, "how shall i dance?" let your heart dance we said. then the invalid said: "how shall i sing?" let your heart sing we said then spoke the poor dead thistle, "but i, how shall i dance?" let your heart fly to the wind we said. then god spoke from above "how shall i descend from the blue?" come dance for us here in the light we said. all the valley is dancing together under the sun, and the heart of him who joins us not is turned to dust, to dust.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.
Land People Waiting
Gay people exist. there's nothing we can do in public policy that makes more of us exist, or less of us exist. and you guys have been arguing for a generation that public policy ought to essentially demean gay people as a way of expressing disapproval of the fact that we exist, but you don't make any less of us exist. you just are arguing in favor of more discrimination, and more discrimination doesn't make straight people's lives any better.

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.
Love Real Knowing
Some things you forget. other things you never do. but it's not. places, places are still there. if a house burns down, it's gone, but the place--the picture of it--stays, and not just in my remory, but out there, in the world. what i remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. i mean, even if i don't think if, even if i die, the picture of what i did, or knew, or saw is still out there. right in the place where it happened.

Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else. (notice this means that if you are interested only in writing you will never be a writer, because you will have nothing to write about...)

I'm not a communist. i'm an american. i'm a capitalist. i mean, i'm not a very good capitalist, myself. i'm not very good at it, but it's not that i'm not for capitalism. but people who believe in things like corporate citizenship, it's idiotic. i mean, it shows you're an idiot.
