Renaissance Woman: January 2009
http://ginmiller.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. The film and especially the book, are haunting me. I've been awake into the night unable to put the book down. Richard Yates. Is a writer with a direct voice that penetrates bulls- t. The concept of the story could sound " done. Yet he expresses it as fresh and unique. A tragic, depressing ending to be sure, but that's not what I come away with. To stay awake and alive requires constant. Doing it. Not necessarily meaning the dramatized ending, but the cost to our souls....

Renaissance Woman: June 2011
http://ginmiller.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 03, 2011. For Desire - by Kim Addonizio. Give me the strongest cheese, the one that stinks best;. And I want the good wine, the swirl in crystal. Surrendering the bruised scent of blackberries,. Or cherries, the rich spurt in the back. Of the throat, the holding it there before swallowing. Give me the lover who yanks open the door. Of his house and presses me to the wall. In the dim hallway, and keeps met here until I'm drenched. And shaking, whose kisses arrive by the boatload. Subscribe to...

Renaissance Woman: Altars in the World - Barbara Brown Taylor
http://ginmiller.blogspot.com/2009/06/altars-in-world-barbara-brown-taylor.html
Tuesday, June 02, 2009. Altars in the World - Barbara Brown Taylor. We receive enlightenment only in promotion as we give ourselves more and more completely to God by humble submission and love. We do not first see, then act: we act, then see. And that is why the man who waits to see clearly, before he will believe, never starts on the journey." - Thomas Merton. What if a lost soul strikes God as more reachable than a lifelong believer? P 44-45 "'Do this,' he said - not believe. To think about how man y ...

Renaissance Woman: August 2008
http://ginmiller.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. Whether in the strains of Gershwin and Chopin during a lunch time piano concert downtown or in the stars twinkling as I lay on blankets for film nights in parks, the intimations of "more" keep coming to me in relentless, yet gentle, waves. Days have been sweet and truth goes deeper into my bones, though my mind can lay claim to less and less as I age. No, not insanity, but knowledge of fact, force and surety. As my knowledge. Increases, my knowing. Becomes more primarily of gut.
