Thoughts upon reading, How to Read a Novel by Caroline Gordon

"The writing of a book is like a journey across an apparently trackless waste." ~ Caroline Gordon

I agree.

The whole process in an unmooring and gravity-less experience that at once, both exhilarates and unsettles. Yet, it just this so-called singular experience in mental & spiritual lands unknown that allows one, in both writing and in life, to break free of norms, move around assumptions, to feel and to think beyond our society and self-made dimensions.

Time in the wilderness,
Freedom to explore,
Steeped in soliloquy,
Await what's in store.
New understanding?
Compassion before?
Tear down the door,
Explore, evermore.
Create your own lore,
Change the world, four-score.
~Rebecca Moll
