The Barefoot Author
About Me
- Tesi
- I write barefoot. I do pretty much everything else barefoot, too. At least...everything I can. I like the feeling of the earth beneath my feet. I like the freedom of being open to the world. I like to know where I stand. I like being just a little bit different. I like never knowing when I'll walk into a beautiful story...mine or someone else's.

Quotes
"Earth is crammed with heaven,
and every common bush
afire with God,
but only he who sees
takes off his shoes."
--Elizabeth Barrett

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the most of it without knowing what's going to happen next."--Gilda
Radner
"Still, so still, in the city tonight...when all that is good slinks away like a beaten dog and the black black shadows are alive with the dead, twisted poetry in broken English, flesh and blood and staring faces...So grey and despairing, strong as steel but collapsed inside..."--J. O Barr "The Crow"

"At the back of our brains, so to speak, there is a forgotten blaze or burst of astonishment at our own existence. The object of the artistic and spiritual life is to dig for this submerged sunrise of wonder; so that a man sitting in a chair may suddenly understand that he is actually alive, and be happy."--G. K. Chesterton
"There is a space on everyone's bookshelves for books one has outgrown but cannot give away. They hold one's youth between their leaves, like flowers pressed on a half-forgotten summer's day."--Marion C. Harretty
