You should read this. Lynn is one of my favorite writers of all time and I love this part: “…if i hadn’t consistently jammed my foot between one particular door and the slam of inevitability, i wouldn’t be here, now, comfortable in this company, catching up, comparing presents and futures, and watching the lights of […]
