music: 'the ballad of john and yoko' by the beatles
could you believe it if i told you that i forgot the way one of my favorite books ended? well you should, because i did.
today i finished reading like the red panda for the second time, and i come out of the novel just as emotionally stirred as i was a year ago when i read it for the first time. i just can't believe i forgot so much about that book in just a year.
actually, what surprises me more is how different of a person i am now as compared to who i was one year ago, last summer, when this book was chosen randomly at a liquidation center down the street from my house. my perspectives have changed. i've seen things that maybe i could have gone with seeing. i've also seen things that i could never have survived without seeing. and through the thick and thin of things, i can honestly say now that this piece of relatively unknown fiction resonates on through whatever caverns and crevices there are in my life, proving to me that however much the times may change, there is nothing that can dampen the spirit of a good book.
it's something small that occurred to me very recently as something impossibly large in actuality.
