"Here's A Door Opening To A New World.

What Will I Find There?"

 

Ursula K Le Guin

 

21 October 1929–22 January 2018

Step Through Into Love

Love Acts clearly as 
Love lands differently, Listen.
Longing or attachment are different from Love.
Longing seeks, waits, wonders, grabs, asks or wants. Longing is a discomfort with the sense of emptiness.

Genuine love just Is.

Love is creating infinite space for loving,
ourselves firstly.

Ask, what would love do, in this bare moment?

Then Simply Be.
 

That.
 

 

In collaboration with Literary Arts,
a tribute to Ursala will be held Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 7:30 p.m.,
at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, free and open to the public.

 

“The event will feature tributes from writers and friends who represent the wide-ranging influence

Le Guin has had on international literature for more than 50 years,

including Margaret Atwood (by video), Molly Gloss, Walidah Imarisha, Jonathan Lethem, Kelly Link, China Miéville, and Daniel José Older. Andrea Schulz, Le Guin's editor at Viking Books, and Julie Phillips, Le Guin's biographer, will also speak at the tribute.

The tribute will include rare documentary footage of Le Guin,
along with photos and images from her life and work.”

Ursula often visited, and passionately loved,

Malheur County in southeast Oregon.

 

“Standing on the bare ground—my head bathed by blithe air

all mean egotism vanishes.

I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing;

I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me ...

I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty.”
