i caught myself reading over a sixth grader’s shoulder one too many times…

i will finish this book someday!

i’m coming back someday!!

I find it hard to appreciate the digressions and tangents.

i am losing steam

“We bear the pain of division as part of the cost of healing it.”

I’m surprised by how quick these first couple of sections felt. Feeling… curious 🧐

I’m already hooked.

i could re-read little women infinitely and always delight in it!!

it gets better! maybe also helpful that i stopped reading the footnotes?

oofda

it just feels right to be reading this in the fall

“And there is no need to be troubled about times and seasons, for the secret of the times and seasons is in the wisdom of God, in His foresight, and His love. And what in human reckoning seems still afar off, may by Divine ordinance be close at hand, on the eve of its appearance.”
