Shiver

Back many many months I saw a book along the shelves at SLCC Taylorsville Redwood Campus that immediately caught my eye. The cover was entrancing and I found myself picking up without remembering walking over to it.

It wasn't until 3 days ago that I finally purchased the book and read it. I couldn't be more happy that I did.

This book, in my opinion, has brought me back to the place that I thought I had long lost some time ago. It has been a long time since a book has shaken my reality to the point that I realize what has happend in my past, what is happening in my present and what may soon happen in my future if I continue in my strides the way I have. Surprisingly poetic, musical and entrancing, 'Shiver' has awoken the life within me I longed so much to be in touch with again. I feel like I am in tune with myself again. This book has inspired this entry. Entry 31:

Daylight breaks through the clouds
Giving the earth some loving
Plants sit up and soak up
The hearty gift they've been longing for
More to add here...

Dimly as the clock tolls 9
The sun begins to lose it's shine
