Oef….
‘Truth cloaks herself.’ ‘Why would truth need to cloak herself?’ ‘Because if she were to walk about naked, people would stone her in the streets.’
Finally was able to continue this book and it keeps being amazing.

"If the spoken word is a trick of the gods, the written word is the triumph of humans"
Characters in Elif Shafak's achingly beautiful There Are Rivers in the Sky, discussing early mythology and the first tales written down by humans.
A novel about storytelling, about the things that connect us across cultures & millennia. A literary vaccine against all the hatred & division right now. I need this.

"One must always walk the Earth with wonder, for it is full of miracles to be witnessed"
Original day off plan was for cinema, but wasn't in the mood. Instead, enjoyable stroll, then pint and continue my reading in Cloisters.

#LunchtimeReading : "A weightless pearl formed in the depths of a vast celestial shell. From so small & slight a presence, can a whole universe be conjured?"
Elif Shafak describing the first snowflake a child sees.

Removing myself, at least mentally, from litter-strewn train carriage and losing myself in Elif Shafak's There are Rivers in the Sky (out later in August from Penguin).
