Oh Pip - I knew you wouldn't disappoint! 24 years later and I did have great expectations (sorry I had to). But I felt confident that I could trust the 13 year old me. I have said many times in my life that this book affected me in a profound way, however remembering what that "way" was after 20 + years...well...
Let's just say that it is surreal from just reading a book I can find comfort in the fact that I feel like I always have known who I am. That I really haven't changed. My experiences have grown (in many ways), my life is being lived everyday for sure, but the core of who I am is pretty consistent. This humbly reminds me how important it is to know, honour and trust your own truth. Namaste <3
Take it away Pip --> "That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of this first link on one memorable day". Charles Dickens
