What's Coming?

I picked up a book today that has been on Brad’s bookshelf for a few years. I think he had to read a selection from it at SU. I may have even looked at the book myself but it wasn’t my time for reading it.


Today, as I began, I felt that uncomfortable feeling stirring within. This book was provoking some anger. I’m not sure what the anger is directed at. Well, maybe it was this same feeling from a few years ago; this is going to mess with me. I realized the many books I have read in the past year were books I could nod my head to and say, “oh, yes, I agree with that”. I’m not sure this book is going to illicit that same kind of response.

But, those aren’t the kind of books that change us; the books we can give mental assent to. I’m not going to mention the name of the book at this time. Trust me, the title, alone, would make you shake your head, not nod. However, I’m ready for some stirring….I think.

This last year of transition has been enough in itself. You can only have so many things poking at you and pulling at you at one time.

This book would be a great one for a book club. There is a bit of fear in me though about starting one, especially with this particular subject matter. That is a little off track but it is part of my thought process as I begin this written journey.
