Art Is The Gift

I’m not much of a painter. In my thirty-four years of life I’ve only created one decent watercolor. And that was on accident in the third grade. But as the daughter of a prolific artist I have a deep respect for those who can create beauty with a brush, a bit of paint, and a canvas. I admire the way they dream things into being.

Sometimes I wonder if we place more importance on the being than the d

Ariel answered Cindy's question: I didn't have enough space for this observation in my previous note. I appreciate your Author's Note in The Frozen River. However I was surprised at the statement (when describing your own choice of a doctor instead of a midwife) "there are times when it is wise to put your medical care in the hands of a MAN who knows how to use a scalpel". That struck me as very sexist and inconsistent with your work? I was only referencing the fact that my OBGYN at the time happened to be a man, nothing more. (I see a female doctor now). And I remain deeply grateful to him for saving my son's life.

Quotes by Ariel Lawhon (?)

“We are in the twilight years of a long love affair, and it has recently occurred to me that a day will come when one of us buries the other. But, I remind myself, that is the happy ending to a story like ours. It is a vow made and kept. Till death do us part. It is the only acceptable outcome to a long and happy marriage, and I am determined not to fear that day, whenever it arrives. I am equally determined to soak up all the days between.”

“This is what it means to age, I think. The days are long, but the years are short.”

“This is the part no one talks about anymore. Not in civilized company at least. When a war is over, you stop discussing the cost. The reality. The blood-soaked soil or the grave markers or the collateral damage. The ways we kill our enemies in order to claim victory. History is written by the men who live. Not the ones who die. But I’ve heard these stories myself.”
― Ariel Lawhon, The Frozen River
