People are like books. Eventually, the focus shifts from the cover to the story that cannot be read in one sitting.

THE FEAR OF ITThey say that resistanceto something inevitable makes it seem worse than it is. Maybe the trickis to give in,try to increase the worry, bend like a tree in the storm, give pain its due,find the center of it and look at it plainly, turn it carefullyin the palm of your hand,and realize it can own only so much of you,unless you give it more.It is a balloonthat can get only so big.Anything more is just the fear of it.

A bookshelf is a biography written by others.
