I was given a book to read. As it being a part of my education, I don’t
really think I am supposed to tell everyone what it is. But I can say the
following:
This is a book that I was loaned to read.. Told that after reading, it
would be discussed between my new mentor and myself. The more you read my
writing you will come to know what the people that know me already do: I can
speak very well, but my writing is better, thus, the take on the book is best
explained by speaking through my fingertips. The good thing, is not only does
it allow me to relay my thoughts on the book, it allows me to deliver another
message to my readers. Which by the way, is always good. So let's begin shall
we?
This book is profound reading. Design to make you think while reading every
literal page. The best part? The book is only about 100 pages.. Now, the main
point to the story, the title itself, is brilliantly placed in the middle of
the book.. Why? as told by reading: "it is the core of the story."
The core of the book.. First message I got and want to pass: It takes time,
patience, effort and energy to reach the things in life that create its core.
If you make it, you will see that the lessons before that moment but in that
beginning is something that will resound in and be a part of the rest of your
life.
While reading, I noticed key words through the book. Italicized or
capitalized throughout sentences. Messages highlighted as inserts in a
repetitious, hand drawn picture and referred to as and by an introduction of
"The Writing On The Wall" held ideas that each on its own, was a
lesson in itself. Put together they created a foundation built on by the story
as a meaning that we can live in and by. Second message: Growth, wisdom,
maturity and words of the like exist in life as examples based in moments that
require more than a passing glance. Be it you or someone else providing the art
work in words, The Writing On The Wall is always there for a reason. Life
requires you to not only live, but understand the meanings and lessons in the
pre memory moments that create its existence.
The beginning of the book echoes its title. The whole time it makes you
wonder what the main story, the core of is. Just when you begin to think that
the entire book is the story, the author reminds you that there is a deeper
meaning behind his words than what you are reading. The intro is the first
teased third of the book. Then is the core story in the second third. Followed by the understood meaning in and of
the story as relayed the author, from the lives pre-tale, the last third. Next
message: Conditioned by the lives that we live, we rarely notice something as
being profound. Having a meaning that enables us to take a stock of our lives
and change for the better. These moments happen so fast, that they tend to pass
us by through no fault of their own. See, it’s on us as people leading
individual lives to notice these things. We may think that these beautiful and
enlightening moments happen to a blessed few. Fact is, these moments happen
constantly. Its only in the most profound lessons do we realize that all we had
to do is be open to understanding from the beginning.
The core story being written about two kinds of people, who, make up life.
Those who believe that the only way things will work out is if they never
change, and those who have reached their goals, are happy, but are open. Never
losing the initial drive that lead them to their beginning goals. Knowing that
even though they are comfortable in today, it does not mean that they should
take for granted what they have.
Change is what so many people are afraid of. Yet they forget that change is
what prompted them to follow a dream. Even if you grasp said dream, it was
based in a change, making change a part of your dream. Being stuck in ones
ways, for a period of time will only give the impression of working. Remaining
flexible, open and accepting of and to change is a part of life. Final message?
From day one, life speaks to you, teaches to you. Choosing to begin the
journey to understanding the lessons is a path that will never end. Things in
life cannot and must not be taken for granted. Change created them and change
is the only thing that will allow their core meanings to remain in existence.
Sometimes we cannot do things alone but The Writing On The Wall is always there
if we are open to accepting the help. The story, just as this post, will allow
each reader to gain the overall meaning, guided by a personal understanding and
connection. Basically though, the pursuit of happiness, real joy and happiness,
doesn’t exist in the moments we refuse to let go of. Rather those moment
allowed to guide the "will" that we each have as people.
Make sense?
