Readers can relate to this wonderful memory through their own experiences. That's what makes good writing. <br /> Acting and writing communicate through feelings and emotions. Understanding is greater on the unconscious (spiritual) level than the conscious level. When circumstances just happen to come together into a special moment for a short fleeting time, that is what makes joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837403774999623436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-18946729659678222062015-08-18T17:16:28.555-07:002015-08-18T17:16:28.555-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001168119796103718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-46618330014100375322015-08-18T17:15:43.458-07:002015-08-18T17:15:43.458-07:00I love this piece.I love this piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001168119796103718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-21745575107516966072015-08-18T17:15:24.217-07:002015-08-18T17:15:24.217-07:00I love this piece.I love this piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001168119796103718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-90259346300684898372015-08-18T09:30:50.547-07:002015-08-18T09:30:50.547-07:00Happy belated birthdayHappy belated birthdayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-46822430567709018802015-08-17T20:45:16.951-07:002015-08-17T20:45:16.951-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY..ENJOY!HAPPY BIRTHDAY..ENJOY!KAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600539959847930977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-54871160985446090992015-08-17T19:14:08.211-07:002015-08-17T19:14:08.211-07:00Wishing you a wonderful happy birthday David!

We are based in NY but have a global following, and are looking for contributors/editors who are passionate about writing. This blog reminded me of our vision, which is to create a publication that's ultimately part New Yorker, NYT Sunday Magazine, Harper's, Rolling Stone, Life & Vanity Fair. Any chance you might be interested in being a regular contributor? Please?

It's time to start reading the New Yorker." <br /><br />Years later - when most everything I read is on a screen - there are issues of the New Yorker on my kitchen counter, on my dresser, and can be found in every bag I own.
