I Thought I Was Going Nowhere. Now

Reading Might Not Be The Way That The Child Engages With The World, But It Should Be Something That They All Learn How To Do, And That They Get To Have For Themselves, As Opposed To Somebody Telling Them What To Do And How To Do It.

The Book [the Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane] Is About The Fact That Living In This World Means That Your Heart Is Necessarily Going To Get Broken. But The Book Also Says That's Okay. That's The Only Way To Live A Truly Human Life - With Your Heart Getting Broken - And Eventually Getting Flooded With Love.

I Think Of Myself As An Enormously Lucky Person.

Like Most Hearts, It Was Complicated, Shaded With Dark And Dappled With Light.

That Is Surely The Truth, At Least For Now. But Perhaps You Have Not Noticed: The Truth Is Forever Changing.
