Turning Point: Chemical Attack

Friday, August 23, 2013

I talk about breathing while thousands of innocents in Damascus gasp for air.

Today I think of them.

We need to heal this world.

TREASURES

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. A true story of resilience and fate in the midst of WWII horrors. I am in awe at all the stories, of survivors and dead, but I also like the author's style very much. Dramatic, sensitive, bold.
Undefended Love, by Jett Psaris & Marlena S. Lyons. "...finding the courage to love without guarantees or requirements."
"Everything is susceptible..." by Derek Mahon
Vertigo, by Louise DeSalvo. A memoir that I adore for the structure which comes and goes like waves by the shore. I also relate to it in many personal ways, and I am in awe at the fluidity with which she explains her innermost feelings, part of an essence that up to now, I thought could not be told.
