White, closeup, two, orig­i­nally uploaded by Bipo­lar­Lawyer­Cook.

I had the chance to meet up with Sara of Mov­ing Right Along (and her equally amaz­ing friends Dena and Sylvia) on Sun­day at my own Jamaica Plain’s Arnold Arbore­tum. Sara got to break in her new pros­thetic leg, earned with bat­tle scars after her most recent cancer-go-round, and we got to enjoy the wash of color and scent that the lilacs in full and par­tial bloom gifted us. Sara is a pis­tol, and it was amaz­ing to meet, in real life, some­one whose writ­ing, whose humor, whose brav­ery, and whose sheer obsti­nacy in the face of scary, scary stuff has wowed me from the safety of my com­puter screen. Some­times you won­der if the blogger’s “voice” will trans­late into how they are in per­son– it was just great to ver­ify that the best writ­ing comes from a place of truth, and that you can judge a blog­ger by her blog– or at least Sara’s truth is the same, online and in person.

There are lots more pho­tos of the flow­ers over at my Flickr account– you can click on the link above on my name.

    So far I have found that the blogger’s voice is exactly who the per­son is. It’s really pretty amazing.

    We had SO MUCH FUN with you on Sun­day!!! (And your pic­tures are gorgeous.)

    Thank you so much for join­ing us, lead­ing us, and really being you, too, just the same delight­ful, thought­ful, open, and hilar­i­ous per­son I expected from read­ing this blog. I hope we have many other adven­tures together.

    And thank you also for retriev­ing my glasses for me.

    (P.S. — Your pic­tures are beautiful.)

    I hadn’t really thought about it much until this post — thanks for that! So, what does this say about me? eeek?!

    God, I love lilacs and we just can’t grow ‘em in South­ern Cal­i­for­nia! Beautiful!
