I tucked this away 5 years ago.
I find much richness in Solnit's words.
Language matters.
How you use it matters.
Your subject matters.
Her words reach out with an invitation
as time here spirals toward completion.
How will I describe this one life?
It matters as "a kind of self respect",
even if I'm the sole member of the audience.
Do I have the courage to accept the invitation?
To speak to the joy and the heartache?
To describe it all with
"precision, accuracy, and clarity"?
There's another aspect I might add...
to describe it with an air
of generosity and grace.
This is where I have a revelation.
Thoughts do matter.
