@visakanv The origin and ending stuff is fun to contemplate, and, it brings me back to the question of what do I have in the now of my lifetime. To quote Maria Popova from her book Figuring, “How, in this blink of existence bookended by nothingness, do we attain completeness of being?”

@SketchesbyBoze The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon absolutely took my breath away in several places. I don't remember any specific lines off the top of my head but the prose is so hauntingly beautiful as extra sparkle on brilliantly crafted storytelling.

@JordanMCalhoun I just finished reading Piccolo Is Black. I appreciated your vulnerable and authentic storytelling. I connected to it from my own path as a nerd culture kid in SDA boarding school, having to find my way into adulthood and my own way of being. Thank you for that. https://t.co/OapXNZCQNL
