Often the adult book is not for you, not yet, or will only be for you when you're ready. but sometimes you will read it anyway, and you will take from it whatever you can. then, perhaps, you will come back to it when you're older, and you will find the book has changed because you have changed as well, and the book is wiser, or more foolish, because you are wiser or more foolish than you were as a child.

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. give in to it. there are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. we are not wise, and not very often kind. and much can never be redeemed. still life has some possibility left. perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. it could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. anyway, that's often the case. anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. joy is not made to be a crumb.
