...But pretty in the sunlight.
I just finished a novel that--with absolutely no doubt--has changed my life. I can't recall ever being so effected by characters as I have been by those in Lonesome Dove, especially Augustus and Clara. In particular, there's one line that I can't stop going over in my head. I've never heard life condensed so simply, yet beautifully, as:
It's a fine world, though rich in hardships at times.
I've been daydreaming of cattle trails on the bus, and have been constantly confused about which life I'm
actually living--maybe it's a little of both?
Either way, it feels great to be alive, and I'm sure Gus would agree.
