everything is on the inside looking out

Along with my compulsive knitting (pictures to come - working out my camera situation).  I have been reading a lot.  I have become particularly charmed by Jonathan Safran Foer.  I first discovered him when I was at Western, and recently re-read Everything is Illuminated, and from there went to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and finally, Eating Animals.

Dare I say he is the J.D Salinger of the 21st century.  His words leap off the page ... he is the first author to get me excited in a very very long time.  

"Does it break my heart, of course, every moment of every day, into more pieces than my heart was made of, I never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent, I never thought about things at all, everything changed, the distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn’t the world, it wasn’t the bombs and burning buildings, it was me, my thinking. The cancer of never letting go is ignorance bliss, I don’t know, but it’s so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking every bring me? I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it. "
