Madeleine L'Engle

So sorry to hear of the death of Madeleine L'Engle, the celebrated children's author of Wrinkle in Time.

I appreciated and knew her as the author of spiritual books which lifted my spirit and challenged my thinking. I probably have more quotes from her in my journals than any other person. My spiritual formation group in Abilene shared many an hour meditating over her writings. Her book Walking on Water is my favorite. I shall miss her wisdom.

She died at age 89 day before yesterday. She had a stroke several years from which she never recovered.
