“A ship in port is safe but that is not what ships are for. Sail out to sea and do new things.”
~ Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
I had an inspiring lunch with Catherine Brereton today. She’s one of the finest writers I’ve ever read, and one of the finest people I’ve ever met. We talked for the longest time, mostly about my grandmother in a triptych of images featured in the Sacred Spaces exhibit. At one point we both had tears in our eyes as I recounted stories about her. It did my soul good to talk with Catherine. She’s an extraordinary listener which is why she’s an extraordinary writer. I’m so proud of all she has accomplished, and I look forward to buying her first book. “It’s only a matter of time,” to quote one of her professors. And it is. She’s that good. I continue to be humbled by such compassionate, gifted friends like Catherine.
