Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-25 00:00:00 Steve Johnson This book carried me through my 20s. It is a book of parables that awakened me and kept me sane. It gave me confidence as a young woman, a pool of inner strength to drink from, and resolve through a difficult stage of uncertainty, self-doubt, and soul-breaking tragedy. Simply put, that fragile, brief and fleeting time we call youth. VIII. LIFE'S GIFTS I saw a woman sleeping. In her sleep she dreamt Life stood before her, and held in each hand a gift--in the one Love, in the other Freedom. And she said to the woman, "Choose!" And the woman waited long: and she said, "Freedom!" And Life said, "Thou hast well chosen. If thou hadst said, 'Love,' I would have given thee that thou didst ask for; and I would have gone from thee, and returned to thee no more. Now, the day will come when I shall return. In that day I shall bear both gifts in one hand." I heard the woman laugh in her sleep. Although these stories speak of "God", I imagined myself as the "god". An older, worldly-wise ME, feeding me words of wisdom back through time. Carrying me gently through my pain and toward my future. X. I THOUGHT I STOOD I thought I stood in Heaven before God's throne, and God asked me what I had come for. I said I had come to arraign my brother, Man. God said, "What has he done?" I said, "He has taken my sister, Woman, and has stricken her, and wounded her, and thrust her out into the streets; she lies there prostrate. His hands are red with blood. I am here to arraign him; that the kingdom be taken from him, because he is not worthy, and given unto me. My hands are pure." I showed them. God said, "Thy hands are pure.--Lift up thy robe." I raised it; my feet were red, blood-red, as if I had trodden in wine. God said, "How is this?" I said, "Dear Lord, the streets on earth are full of mire. If I should walk straight on in them my outer robe might be bespotted, you see how white it is! Therefore I pick my way." God said, "On what?" I was silent, and I let my robe fall. I wrapped my mantle about my head. I went out softly. I was afraid that the angels would see me. These words saved me from more mistakes than I can imagine.

My favourite quote from the book is, 'Are you so sinless you have right to hate?' Simply beautiful and truly powerful! <3
