A few months ago, Pastor Rick told us about his fun experience meeting with Ray Bradbury. I was much more interested in hearing about this meeting than his chat with Tony Blair. Bradbury is 87 years old but still has a lucid mind. Rick said that they shared some eloquent thoughts on love, God, and life. I can't believe my pastor has hung out with Ray Bradbury! The walls of Bradbury's home are covered in shelves full of books, awards, and gifts from his fans and admirers. I bet he is simply fascinating. I know he's a brilliant writer; Fahrenheit-451 is one of my favorite books. It's a classic and I highly recommend it. Here is my favorite quote from the book:
"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over."
"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over."
Such a beautiful quote, and so true.

i've met bradbury and have signed copies of a few of his books. my favorite fact about him is that he did his early work on rented typewriters at ucla.
Allison saw Ray Bradbury at a restaurant at Disney Way last year.
I am amazed by him, but perhaps even more amazed at someone who would recognize him at this point...
I love this quote too... but I know not as much as you do! This is also me commenting to you so you can get my blog address. So great seeing you today!
