Today I spent the day reading Cutting For Stone. It was a cozy, dark, rainy day – just right to curl up with a book. This is an amazing story, so well written, and full of insight beyond the storyline. Too many thought lines pushed past me today to stop and give equal attention to each one. For example:
“A man is going along, when out of the blue comes a banana peel, a cosmic joke that leaves you upended and clutching your belly. “
How many times have you had that happen? Thought so. Me too. One minute life is normal, you’re happily moving along, the next you’ve lost something precious and are doubled over in pain. You wake up wondering how on earth you got from here to there in no time flat.
This is an incredible story that parallels those inevitable moments we all experience. It’s a great read.
And so, as another day goes by, I begin chapter 16, and…I have written.
