If this novel were a theater, you could go out into the lobby, wait in line for a drink, or for the bathroom. Give people a chance to admire your clothes, hair, or jewels. Step outside for some air or a smoke. Backstage the crew would be busy transforming the scenery, actors would change their costumes and redo their makeup, Some would be done until final curtain, others awaiting their first entrance.
But we're not in the theater, and I am not letting you go outside this story, not really. Where we are is more like a pause between breaths.
Contemplation Quotes
Whether you're inhaling or exhaling, there's a pause just before, like the pause you can feel more than hear before the tide reverses. Where we are is the point of intersection in the figure eight. Turned on its side the eight becomes the symbol of infinity. You can make this figure with your hips when you dance. Over and over you will return to that moment of balance before your weight shifts from one hip to the other.
The balance of this story is about to shift.

The scenery is changing, as we make our slow way across Mare Internum. A journey I am not going to describe. When the story begins again, some of the people you have come to know and love, or not, Dido, Bertha, Paulina, Reginus, and Joseph will appear less frequently I don't like it when characters fade form the story, so I am apologizing in advance, but life is like that. We leave people and places and times behind. We encounter new ones.
Don't just exist, live.

Here is a quick test: If you have never changed your mind about some fundamental tenet of your belief, if you have never questioned the basics, and if you have no wish to do so, then you are likely ignorant. Before it is too late, go out there and find someone who, in your opinion , believes, assumes, or considers certain things very strongly and very differently from you, and just have a basic honest conversation.
It will do both of you good. I should have been more cautious. I had talked too much. I had said too little.
You"d better bite your tongue Rather than cast a spell wrong. There are so many people whose thoughts have been purchased by people. There are so many people who have made people kings and queens of their thought.
There are so many people who cannot sleep because of people. There are so many people whose lives are a small percentage of their own self and a greater percentage of others. When the offenses of people occupy your mind, your mind becomes the offenses of people instead of your own mind.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Only the answers will differ. Patience is a gift of time we give ourselves so we can give the gift of peace to others. Where we are is more like a pause between breaths. Now see how this pause transforms the conversation. The contrast between the beautiful, broad, unalloyed peace of Nature—calm, passive, silent, unfathomable,—and our own everyday worries—paltry, sorrow-laden, strife-tormented, puts me beside myself as I keep staring at the hazy, distant, blue line of trees which fringe the fields across the river. Step outside for some air or a smoke. Before it is too late, go out there and find someone who, in your opinion , believes, assumes, or considers certain things very strongly and very differently from you, and just have a basic honest conversation.
