T&T&T

I just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which is superb. But there's this passage right near the end that really got me:

"I've been blue, lately," Sam admitted. "And I wondered, how do you get over that sort of thing?"

"Work helps," Sadie said. "Games help. But sometimes, when I'm really low, I keep a particular image in my mind."

"What is it?"

"I imagine people playing. Sometimes, it's one of our games, but sometimes, it's any game. The thing I find profoundly hopeful when I'm feeling despair is to imagine people playing, to believe that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be players." 


I start Mage next week, and that's why. Thanks, Gabrielle Zevin.
