Madeleine L’Engle’s passing
It just came to my attention earlier today that Madeleine L’Engle passed away late last week. Maybe this is old news to some, but I couldn’t help myself in writing this.
Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time is one of the books that started my interest in reading and writing. I remember sitting in the floor at my grandmother’s house, listening to a cassette tape of The Police while I read A Wrinkle in Time. I don’t know why but the music seemed to suit the mood of the story for me. It seems like a crazy combination, but I was a kid.
Reading of Ms. L’Engle’s passing has left me feeling strangely reflective.

It’s funny, but I wrote an entry in my blog just like this when I heard of Ms. L’Engle’s passing. I was so touched and inspired by her and after I read her obituary, I became reflective as well. Just wanted to share. It’s very clear she’s touched a lot of readers, even though the two of us happen to be writers. :) I just stumbled upon your blog yesterday, but I am enjoying it.
