More From Anne Lamott

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
A world in which time is absolute is a world of consolation. for while the movements of people are unpredictable, the movement of time is predictable. while people can be doubted, time cannot be doubted. while people brood, time skips ahead without looking back. in the coffee houses, in the government buildings, in boats of lake geneva, people look at their watches and take refuge in time. each person knows that somewhere is recorded the moment she was born, the moment she took her first step, the moment of her first passion, the moment she said goodbye to her parents.
Goodbye Coffee Passion
And now the moment. such a moment has a peculiar character. it is brief and temporal indeed, like every moment; it is transient as all moments are; it is past, like every moment in the next moment. and yet it is decisive, and filled with the eternal. such a moment ought to have a distinctive name; let us call it the fullness of time.

The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.

Switch to piano! no. really, if you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. at its best it's like the human voice. of course, it would be best if you could actually sing with your own voice. the saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. therefore, the challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument or 'voice' that is outside of your body. i love that challenge and have for over forty-five years. as far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction.
