"Finally finished Chapter 2: Rapport
Notice - Wonder - Inquire
-
Some of what I read, I've been doing for some time .. for example, connecting with people by taking notice in something in/on/around/ or about them that catches my eye .. and taking the time to compliment or ask about it.

Its about letting people know they have been 'seen'" — Nov 06, 2017 06:00PM

"I'm not the sort to read through the content page .. I like to read things as they are presented .. The book starts, of course with Teddy .. and provides the set up .. and then it pokes in here and there about Franklin .. and then hints at Eleanor .. so I'm at the point in the book where you get the 'connection' to who all the players are .. and how much older Teddy is .. and where it's all going .."

“Life doesn't always get better.
But you do. You get stronger.
You get wiser. You get softer.
With tattered wings you rise.
And the world watches in wonder
at the breathless beauty of
a human who survived life.”

“- wings aren’t always visible.
they grow
invisibly
at the back if our hearts.
they speak
unutterably
saying we‘re meant to soar.
they lead
eventually
to where we belong.
higher and higher.”

“I reached the privy and emptied the slop pail, and so forth.
And so forth, Grace? asks Dr.Jordan.
I look at him. Really if he does not know what you do in a privy there is no hope for him.
What I did was, I hoisted my skirts and sat down above the buzzing flies, on the same seat everyone in the house sat on, lady or lady's maid, they both piss and it smells the same, and not like lilac neither, as Mary Whitney used to say. What was in there for wiping was an old copy of the Godey's Ladies' Book; I always looked at the pictures before using them. Most were of the latest fashions, but some were of duchesses from England and high-society ladies in New York and the like. You should never let your picture be in a magazine or newspaper if you can help it, as you never know what ends your face may be made to serve, by others, once it has got out of your control.
But I do not say any of this to Dr. Jordan. And so forth, I say firmly, because And so forth is all he is entitled to. Just because he pesters me to know everything is no reason for me to tell him.”
