whither thou goest Whenever I finish a Neil Gaiman book, I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand his words are able to take me to a place that seems much better than what I see around me. There is hope and there is meaning in what he says. Oh, it might be hidden in a world of faerie, but that doesn't take away from its emotional power. The down side however of finishing one of his books is that I immediately want to read another one. A couple of weeks ago when I was up north, I had started Stardust, but the mundane responsibilities of the everyday world had stopped me from reading the end. Late this afternoon the final thirty pages went by far too quickly for me. ... Lately I've been feeling lost again and to me that means that I am in need of another vacation. Ever since I got back from my five day stint away I haven't really felt like myself. Most of the time I am either in a daze or angry about something and that has to change soon. I guess that I am sensing a new direction in my life and it has yet to start. |
