Books for the road…
Who can prepare for this journey? My rational, rational mind has a grip on me so I did. I wrote my warning post. I talked to Big Sis. And I ripped open a few boxes of books to grab what I could without creating a god awful mess.
They may not be the best, and they may not be my usual reading material (but what use is Camus right now?), they may even be “dumb”, but they are a start on getting my brain to use another mode of thinking.
And they are what I have.

They sound wonderful to me! And ha ha, I own and treasure the Andrews, Bolen and Nicholls.
Do you have Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg? A book for writers, and so much more. I return to it again and again. It just seems to handle EVERYTHING.
