Any external concept, event, observation can be applied to our internal lives. I am reading this book and the ideas and analogies are so enlightening and reassuring, that I want to store them in my memory, in the safest yet easy to reach place, to warm me up and fill with hope just as the cold and hostility of the external world will force me to withdraw. <br /><br />We tend to live with the fallacy that we are strong enough to withstand any winter. We downplay the destructive power of cold. With no supply of wood we risk to let the freezing wind extinguish the light and warmth inside. So just like you, I try to stock up on sweet memories, wise thoughts, nourishing ideas from the books - anything that can be retrieved to save me from despair.Ayselhttp://happysadthoughts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486740904602696078.post-72087200789798056392010-11-08T20:30:44.987-08:002010-11-08T20:30:44.987-08:00hmmmm, I'm originally from PA and I can just s...hmmmm, I'm originally from PA and I can just see my family's backyard with our wood piled high.

Because this townhome, you see, has not one but two fireplaces...and we can't use either due to a building code issue! :)<br /><br />Your closing thought sure brings it home. The logs we're gathering through this season will be a delight to the soul in the next season.Brock S. Henninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718214541048130039noreply@blogger.com
