there is a book i love. the secret lives of bees. i think i have read this book at least 13 times. maybe 27, i cannot keep track. once i read it twice in 2 weeks when on a road trip from here to arkansas. every time it's a new story, beautiful, delicious and heart wrenching. i'm reading it again right now because i recently heard they are making a movie to be released in october (best month ever). Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Dakota Fanning. a great cast. every page of this book contains pure gems. sentences contructed with mastery. mastery of language, emotion, description. sue monk kidd kills it in this book. her second book sucked but this is pure mastery.(i like this word today) this story is golden. every time i read it i take something different from it, different sentences rock my world. i am halfway through on this reading and i am loving these sentences now:
"i realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but pure mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it"
and...
"the hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters"
and this is true.
