SATURDAY SNIPPETS

Snippets are pithy grabbers of sorts . Bits and pieces. Concise. Big thoughts with few words. Poetry found in prose. Those are my definitions.

Merriam-Webster has its own. 

Definition of snippet 

: a small part, piece, or thing,  especially  : a brief quotable passage

We agree on the brief quotable passages. That's what this entry is to become---a repository for personal snippets that speak to me from books I read.

• In answer to her daughter Annie's question, "Why didn't I feel this before?", Lorraine said, 
• "Because we embrace out scars more than our healing." (Albom, M. the next person you meet in heaven, (p.149)
• Victor the stutterer---"True courage is having the strength to do the things that terrify you." (Vawter, V. Paperboy, CD chapter 1)
• But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. (1 Peter 4:15) Meddler jumped off the "evil" list and still has my attention!
• Sometimes bad people mess things up for the good people doing good. (Duncan, A. Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop, Sanitation Strike of 1968, 2018, unpaged)

Even a snippet from a child's picture book can have me pause to ponder.
