Now, as by the laws of the world, her image walked around and answered and asked and acted; she, no longer Deborah, but a person bearing the appropriate name for a dweller on Yr's plains, sang and danced and recited the ritual songs to a caressing wind that blew on the long grasses. I Never Promised you a Rose Garden p. 16 Hannah Green
MY THOUGHTS I like this quote from Rose Garden because it captures something i struggle with to a degree as well, withdrawing from reality. Often, especially when i feel stressed, it's like, when i speak i am listening to my own voice, not connected to it. Just reading about it makes it more real and true. I feel relieved, like Deborah did when Dr Fried said yes you are ill; seeing myself mirrored somewhat in Deborahs struggles I know my problems are real.
