A Nice Thought

..."books, they offer one hope---that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new universe, one is saved."
"Oh yes, I think so. I really do," Aunt Queen responded almost gleefully. "It ought to be that way with people, and sometimes it is. Imagine---each new person an entire universe. Do you think we can allow that?..." --Anne Rice, Blackwood Farm

Hmm. Then how come most people you meet are so uninteresting?

It's true. I met someone recently who opened up a whole new universe for me. It was quite magical. My mother used to say that each person is their own universe. It's very true.

Some may be a whole universe worth exploring. Others are just black holes to avoid.

I used to read books to escape. I pretended that I was running along the creek with the characters...enjoying a life far different from my own.

Lord, I still use books to escape.

My answer is that I believe each person is an entire fascinating universe if you take the time to look closely enough.
