More From John Lithgow

Some knitters say that they buy yarn with no project in mind and wait patiently for the yarn to "speak" to them. this reminds me of michelangelo, who believed that every block of stone he carved had the statue waiting inside and that all he did was reveal it. i think i've had yarn speak to me during the knitting process, and i've definitely spoken to it. perhaps i'm doing it wrong, or maybe my yarn and i aren't on such good terms, but it really seems to me that all i say is "please" and all it ever says is "no".
Block Thinking Knitting
To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

All of us can think of a book... that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf. but if i have the right to remove that book from the shelf - that work i abhor - then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. and then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us.

It wasn't long after i began writing star wars that i realized the story was more than a single film could hold. as the saga of the skywalkers and jedi knights unfolded, i began to see it as a tale that could take at least nine films to tell - three trilogies - and i realized, in making my way through the back story and after story, that i was really setting out to make the middle story.
Stars War Writing
Whenever i finish a book, i go off and have some kind of adventure. having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then i need to balance that off with an external adventure, so i'll go tramping through africa or whitewater rafting or float to hawaii in a martini shaker or something.
