I just started reading a book that Nita got for me called "A Soldier of the Great War", by Mark Helprin...I am only 72 pages in as of yesterday but i already love this book. It takes place in Italy and so far there are two characters. An old man and a young man...i am not 100% sure where the book is headed yet, but i love what has been said already and can't wait to read more. It has been a little while since i had a big book that i was excited to read so this is good. Reading this book reminds me how fun it is to get lost in a world of words and to have it also effect the way you think and feel during the day. Yesterday we had an amazing thunder storm and I got to sit on the porch and read and listen to the thunder...it was perfect.
A good way to finish the weekend I suppose. What's that you say? its Monday??? oh boy...well, ok, here we go...Funny to look back on last monday which seems like ages ago, and think that I felt so differently, but that is the amazing part of life, how we can go through the huge range of thoughts and emotions in only a few days. We can process so much if we let it be processed. And so, on this monday, I got up a bit earlier than usual, it is a beautiful day, the sun is golden and the coffee is grand and on this day i will be a bit lighter.
Love and Understanding.
Originally this was about my Escape...but these days, this is about the way of the world..the things that cross my mind, and maybe yours..the creative battles and truimphs and losses...it is about love and understanding of ourselves first and others second...it is about doing what we love and being afraid to try...and then trying...I am blessed with the readers on this blog and my family and loves and my friends....thank you..
