Eulogy is nice, but one does not learn anything from it.

From the moment my dad died, from the moment I found out there was the possibility of his dying, there were many surprises - years after, minutes after. The moments I was okay were as surprising as the ones that I wasn't. Making it through the eulogy without losing it. And then the guilt I felt about it. Surprise!

I love eulogies. They are the most moving kind of speech because they attempt to pluck meaning from the fog, and on short order, when the emotions are still ragged and raw and susceptible to leaps.

One feels the excitement of hearing an untold story.

I'm relieved that after all these years of doing atrocity work, I still cry my eyes out every time I read the paper in the morning. It's surprising, actually.

Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead.

I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It's fun to see what they'll say it is.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I am glad and thankful that my husband forced me to start reading for pleasure, as it took me years to listen to him and pick up a book!
