Writer and poet Kelly Fineman has a tradition of quoteskimming on Sundays, whereby she shares with her blog readers words of wisdom mined over the course of a week’s reading. Today I’d like to join her, because I found this gem in a short essay called Compass Points by Judy Blundell in the March/April 2009 issue of The Horn Book Magazine, and it spoke to me:
There is a February of the soul that writers know, and though nothing tangible helps, including walks and tea, there is something that does, and that is another writer saying I know.
Oh, that February of the soul. Do you know it? And that other writer, the one who says I know, do you know her, too? I do, I do, and I feel blessed.
Happy Sunday!
