“Once we begin to explore this much wider and deeper world, we realize how much we’ve been missing. It’s as though we’ve been living and working in a corridor without even realizing there are windows and doors on either side. More than that: writing enables us to open the window blinds, undo the catches, lean out and look, smell, hear, touch, taste adventure. We can climb out of those windows. Writing can give us the keys to open those doors: explore what’s on the other side.”
