When I read, I am like a sponge. I like to take it all in and let it soak right through me until I've understood what the author has written and what he's trying to portray. It's no race for me. So with ten pages or more left to go, I stopped. I had to regain my composure and ready myself for a dissatisfying ending. I waited until I was ready to go on and be okay with what would happen. And so, today, after a few days of contemplation, I finished The Kite Runner. Some may say that its ending was unjust and wanting of more. But I say, it's just fine. It left me with a little bit of hope, I guess with my kite still flying away in the sky, ready for another battle.
Make morning into a key and throw it into the well,Go slowly, my lovely moon, go slowly. Let the morning sun forget to rise in the east,Go slowly, my lovely moon, go slowly,
With my hus- band leaving soon and my babies growing up so fast, I too want the moon to go slowly.

It's fun being able to see the kids.
I too wish the moon would go slower at times but we are already apart of a world which does not allow such things to happen, not in any logical sense that is. However, I do believe the moon can be stopped with forces bigger than we are. I believe that a certain type of communication can occur between humans and natural things. There is much in the world that we do not understand. Hope is a hard thing to hold on to, it isn't tangible like it ought to be, hope to me is a weak and disappointing element that only ails the heart more so than to cure any human desires. But, having said that, I nurture a small seed that hopefully one day I will be proven wrong, the moon will slow to a standstill, and the fluttering pages to my heart will be sated.
For me, Hope is such a powerful thing. There was a time in my life when all was dark and even though I looked for the light, I couldn't find it. But when I found just a glimpse of hope or light, it filled my heart with so much joy, that I only wanted more. Soon, Hope filled my life with more, it turned into Truth and Light. I can't live without it. It's what kept me out of trouble and a part of this wonderful world.
