I know that stories were meant to be shared.
I know that everything happens for a reason.
I know that you can achieve what you want to achieve if you dare to trust your instincts, dare to believe in yourself, dare to try.
I know this because I've lived it.

Mostly, I know that after everything else, love is all that really matters.

--Meredith Allard

Saul Bellow in his latest novel, Ravelstein, published this year in the middle of his ninth decade, has his customary stand-in character say he has always been fortunate to be able to see the world though the eyes of a child, with the normal overlay of adult experience removed. While the workaday world regularly forces everyone, even Bellow, out of this mode of fresh apprehension, this seems to me to be the great secret of his amazing and sustained artistry and a lesson in the importance of willed innocence all of us might consider.

Text, like travel, is a bridge to other neighborhoods, bookshops, cups of tea, texts, passing strangers. Text and trable endeavour to connect you to meaning.
