"Lincoln Lang, a teenage boy who befriended him at this time, acutely compared his 'wild enthusiasm' for the West to 'an incredible, creeping plant.' (14)

"Its thin water-seeking rootlets finger the soil, gripping against the winds." (132)

The Far Eastern Western Horizon of Healing—January 20, 2015--original blog post

This book is for healing, though books don't do that.

Understanding, though. Could do with the right book.

When I look for a suitable book, I look for an open space, and what more capacious than the horizon of the west?

Crossed with the eastern on the far side.

This book came from the library sale, the Santa Barbara Public Library sale, but it's also local in that the photographer (Macduff Everton) and the commenter/sketcher (Mary Heebner) live here, work here, endure it here.

They didn't ask for this.

If any harm is done, then this book is for healing.
