As I am not of your faith and constantly must either accept what you say or else look it up, I’ve questioned myself as to why I subscribed. After reading this, which took me longer than it should have, I know why. I am here to learn, and very definitely, I am. I was resistive at first to the idea of being within a thin slice of time and grew into your meaning. This is both an example of fine writing and an intuitive and instructive series of observations that will always be a part of my altered perspective. A comparison to rings within a tree, each affected by the others.
Absolutely fabulous piece. This writing reminds me of the way Graham Elliot (one of the judges on Masterchef USA) talks about risotto. He says his favorite thing about the risotto is all the little 'goodies' that you find as you eat it. I love your use of language, each precisely chosen word is like a 'goodie' (or is it 'goody'?) in a risotto.
Aside from the incredible writing talent, I love the way you communicate your thoughts and ideas in such a clear and coherent way. Absolutely brilliant.
He's hard to read, and I've barely made a dent in the book, but have already taken from it so my great pieces of wisdom that can be applied on a moment to moment basis. If you do decide to get into it, be sure to make yourself aware (if not already) of his life story and context, and in general what the book is about or it will probably be quite confusing. Super worth it though :)

Thank you for this.
Thank you!
Impressive

This provokes a sensation reminiscent of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. Love it.
Thanks so much! I haven't ever read Proust, but probably should be getting round to it!
