You know how they says babies have to look away from people so they don't get overwhelmed by emotion? Lately some books are making me feel like that. It could be happy or sad or some other mix of emotions, and it doesn't even have to be anything profound. It's just that for whatever reason this arrangement of ideas and images sparks too many emotions at once and I have to look away for a while so I don't explode. Anyway, Elizabeth Goudge is becoming a top offender.

#the dean's watch #it took me a bit to get into it but now i'm hooked #but i can only read short pieces at a time #i had to go away and nap during the latest scene because it was making me too crazy #the dean fears his watch because of his father! just like isaac fears the church because of *his* father!#but the dean loves the church and isaac loves the watch and so they're coming together and each one's love could help cast out that fear!!!#and that all came from the one line mentioning the dean's father's use of the watch #so you can imagine the kind of strain i am under #books #elizabeth goudge #random thought of the day
