Last night I went lindy hopping and, crawling into bed at last, I was too delighted and excited to sleep. At first I worried, knowing I’d be up early in the morning (O being a little lark) and being a person who does love her sleep. Of course, as we all know, the more you worry about something the worse it gets. Remembering this, I surrendered to sleeplessness and the many glories of The Night Circus – I read it last year & am now listening to the audiobook – letting it sweep me up in its author’s imagination. It’s a truly magnificent book in terms of its bright, brilliant, beautiful imagination. It reminds me of how important it is to keep dreaming, keep expressing yourself, keep expanding into your life. And I spent a splendid, worry-free, expansive, hour in its arms before drifting off into some rather marvellous dreams of my own…
