[Not Afraid]

To add to the longest running, least active book club discussion ever........

I just finished TTTW and I feel as if I've traveled to another place of existence.

First of all, I have to applaud the author for referencing Possession, because the feeling I am left with after finishing this book is EXACTLY the same feeling I felt upon finishing Possession; although, I do not feel capable of describing this particular feeling, but I will try:

I feel as though I've been in a place where I was very alone and the tendrils of a vine have wrapped themselves arond me, closing me off even more from the rest of the world but providing me warmth, comfort and protection.

I feel as if I have just made an very emotional journey but instead of experiencing the emotions myself, I watched them happen to another version of me somwhere removed from where I am at now.

I feel like a butterfly must feel once it emerges from its cocoon, but it's wings are still to damp to fly.

I feel like I'm along on a vast, sun-kissed beach and the foamy edges of the waves are massaging my toes while the rest of my body soaks up the sun and warmth.

I want to sit quietly and just experience what it is like to be still in time, for I know that I will be rudely shoved out of this place in no time at all.
