Belle Prater's Boy by Ruth White

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

 Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

 Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the

 doorsill, where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

 Don't go back to sleep.

 -Jalal al-Din Rumi, 13th century 

         I really like this story because it has so much to tell you in just one book. I learned lots of things which in some way, I have all though and felt about before but I just couldn't put them into words.

         The story teaches us not to be too worldly and not to give importance on appearances. And also not to be impulsive.

         We all have our wants and desires in our life and we must plan carefully and pray for them to unfold well. The story taught me that even though a person lives in a beautiful, serene, big place, it cannot shield or protect the person who lived in them. Just like Woodrow, I have learned a beautiful place can't shelter you from hurt any more than a shack can.

         It was also in this book that I've first encountered lots of funny stories and jokes. It was a good way to soften the mood.

         A part of me still longs for Woodrow to find out what really happened to his mom.

finding the alternate universe

Researching.
That is what I am doing at this time. Primarily because I want to give this blog my best. When it comes to books, I always had one motto. " Value ones life." I have read this in a book somewhere before and it just stuck. When you value a book, you learn not only the story being told. You also live in an alternate life, your alternate life. It is a life, your life. And you should value it.

That is why I am researching on the how tos, the path, the things I will encounter if I intend to write this blog for a long time. I need to prepare. And I do want to continue writing about my alternate universe, my life.
