"Writers seeks meaning even in the mundane." So true!

Writers also take things most of us overlook and explain them to everyone else. I also loved what Steve Jobs said about Zen, (and everyone's calling) that it's all about finding essence.

Great essay Lizzie. I certainly agree with your inspiring words about writing.

Believe it or not, visiting Stockbridge, Mass. has long been on my "bucket list'' because that little far away town is also home to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. Have always heard it's a very special and beautiful area. Thank you for writing.
