“The right book at the right time may mean more in a person’s life than anything else.” —From the book titled Ex Libris compiled by Christopher Morley and printed as a souvenir of the First National Book Fair in November 1936—a festival sponsored by the New York Times and the National Association of Book Publishers. This is a quote from Lee Shipley in the Los Angeles Times.
Guess what who got buy ticket just to see you when in Brazil? This girl!!!!! Im sooooooooo happy and grateful! God really loves and take care of me! Some tickets simply appeared out of nowhere and thanks to my husband's efforts I managed to secure mine.Love you and see you soon💖🇧🇷
Dear Patti, Thanks for showing us all the books and mentioning the movie, Queer. I can't wait to see it. I'll try the ginger tea too. I drink something like that...ginger root, water, organic flower honey, fresh lemon juice. You can serve it room temp or warm. The crescent moon was really cool.
Loved the crescent moon this past week, one of the most beautiful was one night when the big bright star or planet appeared. I live in one of the most astronomical significant spots on earth. Telescopes up top of Mauna Kea make viewing our universe and beyond spectacular. Looking for suggestions for a great, simple to use telescope, good value would be terrific. Don’t need bells and whistles just good images of the beauty beyond…any recommendations?
Everything you share is so synchronous with the world, or our own lives.
Writers, writing and books. Feel free to talk away any evening with those!
If you see this, would love to have you send something in for our Bombay Gin Literary Journal at Naropa. The theme is: In the Strangler Fig. And I can extend our deadline to accommodate you, of course! Naropa's 50th year! -- Frank Ortega
Dear Patti Smith, you like to remember birthdays - today is Sinead O'Connor's birthday. You were on stage with her once, too... She was also a great artist for me. In a different way than you are for me, but she was - no, she and her music is - still important to me...
Hello my beautiful, talented and the Greatest in everithing you do....Im a litle away from here because some healthy issues, but Im back and just finished my anual signature to follow you in all steps and news. But I'd like to ask you to open more dates for performances here in Brazil - Sao Paulo, because I couldn't get the tickets to see you performing live once again, because I was hospitalized the date opened to sale and sold out so quickly and im so sad about it. So, please if is possible open more dates to give the opportunite to me and many other fans get tickets and have a wonderful time with you and your amazing band. Love you so deeply💖🇧🇷
Talking about nothing - lovely! I enjoyed M Train. I listened to you read it while I was driving across the Midwest. Your voice is a fun traveling companion. I also listened to Just Kids that way. Your voice is calming and the narratives you weave are stimulating, so just a real enjoyable combination for driving alone. Thank you.
I just recently found you had this space in substack, and I have to say it's fantastic when you have prepared something, and delightful when you haven't. Thank you for your comments on the books. I would advocate for more of this. It reminds me of a philosophy professor I had many years ago. After long freeform conversations we often had, he reminded me of the importance of it; "If a friend comes from out of town and you get them on you car and take them for a drive all over the city, pointing out interesting places, historical landmarks, personal favorites, and so on, and then get him back to where they're staying, after not arriving to any particular destination, and the person complains, well that is very narrow-minded way to understand going somewhere... it is the same with thought, with conversations that cover a lot without a prearranged order, it a walk on the park without destination. You did take the person somewhere. And it has value." I am grateful for this space, and you 💜
Great reading list!! Some of them are already on my to read list (various pieces of paper lying around plus some on notes on my phone and some in my head..). I think I'm going to make some hot ginger and clove and cinnamon drink now for my sister and me :-)
