"Catherine Newman sees the heartbreak and comedy of life with wisdom and unflinching compassion. The way she finds the extraordinary in the everyday is nothing short of poetry. She's a writer's writer—and a human's human."
"We All Want Impossible Things is a riotously funny and fiercely loyal love letter to female friendship. The story of Edi and Ash proves that a best friend is a gift from the gods."
Eugene the bear wants to make friends, but each time an animal approaches he becomes tongue-tied, gets a lump in his throat, looks this way and that way, and just wants to hide! One by one, animals try to befriend Eugene, but it’s always the same.
Lucky for Eugene, his soon-to-be-friends are patient, kind and know just what to do to help him feel comfortable. #picturebook#childrensbook#kidlit#book#bookstodon#littlefreelibrary#bookdrop#animal#animalbooks#friendship@bookstodon

We all have experienced various conditions that combine in a unique manner to cause us to act in the ways we do - from a place of either #frustration, #love, #anger, fear or #friendship We cannot forget that we all have the seeds of loving-kindlness too. No one's heart has been hardened by these conditions to the extent that they are incapable of loving other and being kind to themselves. This is the nature of impermancence - our behaviour is subject to change.
“Loving friendliness motivates you to behave kindly to all beings at all times and to speak gently in their presence and their absence”
