More From Anne Lamott

Even in an intensely mediated world, in a world that offers at least the illusion of radical self-invention and radical freedom of choice, i as a novelist am drawn to the things you can't get away from. because much of the promise of radical self-invention, of defining yourself through this marvelous freedom of choice, it's just a lie. it's a lie that we all buy into, because it helps the economy run.

For paradise we long. for perfection we were made...this longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives...this longing makes our loves and friendships possible, and so very unsatisfactory. the hunger is for...nothing less than perfect communion with the...one in whom all the fragments of our scattered existence come together...we must not stifle this longing. it is a holy dissatisfaction. such dissatisfaction is not a sickness to be healed, but the seed of a promise to be fulfilled...the only death to fear is the death of settling for something less.
Perfect Long Promise
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Choose a companion of your own faith. you are much more likely to be happy. choose a companion you can always honor, you can always respect, one who will complement you in your own life, one to whom you can give your entire heart, your entire love, your entire allegiance, your entire loyalty.

The soul must long for god in order to be set aflame by god's love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. to long for the longing is also from god.
