A Post That Says Something, But Boringly

Why I don’t mark pages of passages that strike me when I find them, I’ll never know. I’m reading Susan Orlean’s “The Orchid Thief,” and I can’t find the passage where she says, in effect, how jealous she is of people who find an overwhelming obsession in life. How it may make no sense on the outside, but that it’s a way, for the ones who find it, to pass the time.

Pass the time…how horrific and perfectly sensible.

I was going to post a photo of her infamous ghost orchid, but the ones I found, they scare the crap out of me.
