This is probably entirely ...I have lost your email. This is probably entirely inappropriate but...<BR/><BR/>I am after some advice. I have got fifty pages of a novel that takes up from Dark Horses & Black Beauties and is crossed with Black Beauty. (I mean the points you raise)<BR/><BR/>I would love to know who dealt with your book--because I think most horse people would be offended by mine (I certainly hope so)<BR/><BR/>Anyway I loved your book and I like the sound of: The Place You love is Gone--it sounds right up my street--which is disappearing fast. (sorry, I bet you keep getting that)<BR/><BR/>My email is: nippycolt@excite.com<BR/><BR/>If you feel like helping out a fellow traveller.Lobbyhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910224994473951644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333594380363882958.post-76595488044819612172008-04-07T19:44:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:44:00.000-07:00Yes, I shock myself when I find myself channeling ...Yes, I shock myself when I find myself channeling the Bible. Then again, it is sorta wise . . .<BR/><BR/>Lately, and in this post, I am not really thinking about my personal situation that much at all anymore. Except to ask, How do you spell "r-e-l-i-e-f"? I spell it: NOW! For I am flooded with it. And I look forward to the future--or at least I do toward my own little future, not necessarily the global one. Don't ask me how I can make that split. I can't, really, and shouldn't. It's just that right now my sense of relief, of having been removed from under a dead, dark weight, is so great--let me have it for a little while, OK, before I resume whining about the state of the earth. I'd love to raise a toast to sudden, light happiness to readers like Patricia, who have come with me through the shadows: it's time to party a little.Melissa Holbrook Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617752678155038816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333594380363882958.post-79596993641429046692008-04-06T15:26:00.000-07:002008-04-06T15:26:00.000-07:00You are absolutely right that "This too shall pass...You are absolutely right that "This too shall pass" is not true--or at best, true only of certain things. The past is not dead, it's not even past, said Faulkner, or somebody. But there is no mystery to the line's churchishness. It's from the Bible. Don't ask me where or in reference to what. I like to keep that sort of info out of my head. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy your blog; enjoyed your book about the place you loved. Best of luck to you, and hang in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
