Reading Journal Homeskillet ;)

So im still on "The Shape Of Water".

"My senses opened; I heard light whisper; I tasted the yeast of rain. Muscles over the exterior of my ribs, in my flank region, tightened as I walked. I thought of nothing else while tending my fires; nothing except the flame andd the crackling pops and snaps of my fire. Fire, like silence had a language I could not speak, but I could translate. I listened to the pops and snaps growing louer as they grew closer together, and the voice of the fire warned me when to leave. "

the book's getting good.
but the main character is somewhat scary. I mean she likes to start fires in her spare time,
and she usually stares out of her window daily. she has sense that tell her things.
and somehow relates so many things to water and swimming.

it's kinda freaky.

my question is: "how can a object such as a fire have a voice, and how can it warn you to leave? I mean your the one who started the fire in the first place, why would it let you want to get away with it? and wouldnt someone notice if your starting fires over and over again?"

"The rest of me, most of me was hidden like the secret of undertow. And I could no longer remain inside the undertow; I was alone there with silence and memory and gazing. Each of these activities had begun speaking to me in the slow, weighted vocabulary of loss. I would have to think of a way to leave."

Im still reading "The shape of water"
I like it, but not as much as I LOVED the Tao Of Pooh,
maybe later that will change?
I don't know.

Anyways My comment on this is, I can totally understand it. What it feels like when a part of you is hidden, but you want to get out. This instantly appealed to me. Because I just understand. I don't know how to explain it.

My question is "how do you know who we are, if we hide things from ourselves?"

Reading Journal With New Book!

Firstly I do want to say that I did finish the Tao Of Pooh, and I simply love it,
it is now one of my most favorite books. Anyways Now I am reading " The Shape Of Water"
I just got it from the Library today! When I was getting the travel book for Japan :)

"When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion.
It glides over you without shape or form, but with weight, exactly like water.
Its color is silver. And silence has a sound you hear only after hours of wading inside of it. The sound is soft, like flute notes rising up, like the words of glass speaking. Then there comes a point when you must shatter the silence, when you must shatter the blindness of it's words, the blindness of it's light."

That has to be the longest paragraph of a quote that I have chosen. I like it simply because it sounds deep. I think it's somewhat random though, or as Miss Kay would say it has a tangent.
Haha, I don't know why I seemed to pick that out, but I did. :)

My question is, "How does silence have a sound?"
I just don't get it.

Reading Journal.

Those who think that rewarding things in life are somewhere beyond the rainbow-
"Burn their toast a lot," said Pooh.
"I beg your pardon?"
"They burn their toast a lot" said Pooh.

I chose this qoute because, only pooh could relate something as people who keep taking things for granted and that are never happy with their lives would relate such a thing like that to toast. I am loving how sometimes this book is so lighthearted.

my question is: "whats wrong with always wanting more?"
I mean i understand that at some part, if you keep wanting more, your not going to realize how amazing your life is just the way it is. But why just settle for whatever comes your way if you deserve even better and you deserve to have so much more than you have now?
