I have finished reading Hope for the Flowers and Holes. Both are children's books and it has nourished my inner child. Thanks Jan, my love.

Yet somehow, waiting and not being sure is better that action she couldn't believe in.

He especially avoided meeting the eyes of other crawlers. He knew how fatal such contact could be.

Was it courage to wait?

As I was reading, I realized something. As I turn the pages of the book, I always keep an eye out for quotable quotes. Somehow, it lessens the fun of reading because I'm expecting something and as we all know, expectations break your heart. I should not be so conscious of the lines becuase when the quotable quotes come, I know I will recognize them since it will hit me with a bang and that will make it quotable.
