Reading this book and experiencing the journey felt like a warm hug on a lovely winter’s evening. Isn’t that what’s most needed during challenging times?
I loved the picturesque metaphors that convey the depth and richness of the thoughts expressed as feelings. Of a few favorites, I connected with one that talks about how certain experiences we can share only with certain people. Because it’s ‘our’ thing, and once they move on, we remember the incident but cannot share that experience with another because the person before us is not the same.
Another of my favorites is ‘Brightness of brightness,’ which talks about decisions we make in the moment that we think will protect us, only to realize later they denied us the light that found us.
It’s a beautiful book. Go ahead and read it.
