Transitions, shifts from one to the next, similarities, differences, complications; relationships; influences; the rippling, increasing in magnitude effects of a single action; comparisons, contrasts; the scale, the range from one extreme to the other (and the ability to go from one to the other in a blink). So dense with all of these and yet so light.

It keeps expanding (effortlessly and endlessly) — not only on the pages but also in your mind. And it does so in a captivating/meaningful/sensible (not just random) way. It’s like it runs out ahead of you and you catch up to it; but when you do, it’s like some part of you already knew it. This book is wonderful beyond words.

‘Hugo waved a dismissive hand. “No worries. No energy on that. All energy on what we’re here for today.”’ Good advice. We have a limited amount of energy to expend. Don’t burn energy on useless or negative thoughts. Preserve energy for positive thoughts and what’s possible.

Need to go back and get the good quotes from the first couple of stories.

“The boy hadn't hesitated. By the waning light of Stew's fire, he had turned to the back of his book and illuminated the page with his flashlight beam—a circle of light within a circle of light within a sea of darkness.” Love that. Goes along with CHT’s circles of streetlight (and headlights cutting through the darkness) in PCA.. and one other great example (look up in white notebook)

(Many books do; this one has an extra jolt of it)

“Out in the hills, the land was so endless a person felt himself slipping away if he wasn't careful.”
