Hmmm...

When he had his evening show, Arsenio Hall used to do a bit about "thoughts that make you go 'hmmm....' " Here is one.

While introducing Naomi Shihab Nye at the Burning Word Poetry Festival yesterday, Molly Larson Cook mentioned something that the poet once told her.

Possibly paraphrased—

Anne Lamott: Write the truth.

Naomi Shihab Nye: Write toward what you don't know.
