~ April

She blinked her eyes and tried her best to focus on the object falling. She just couldn’t figure out what it was. Occasionally, whatever it was would catch the sunlight and she’d have to avert her eyes. A car suddenly pulled up to the curb outside the window and she was momentarily distracted. When she looked back the mysterious object was nowhere to be seen.

Catherine decided that she wasn’t quite ready to leave the library yet, so she opened her book and began reading. Her eyes traveled down the first page and the words every choice is a world made new for the chosen, seemed to jump out at her.

She made a mental note to write the quote down in her journal. Ever since she was a teenager she had made it a point to collect quotes and articles that she found interesting or provoked some emotion in her. She couldn’t decide what it was about this particular line that she was drawn to, it just felt like the truth. Something she had been seeking her entire life and still was only finding bits and pieces here and there.
