"Why upon hearing the word devil, did I just imagine the monster? Why did I fail to see a lake? A flower growing by that lake? A mantis praying on the very top of a rock?

"You think, as you walk away from Le Cirque des Reves and into the creeping dawn, that you felt more awake within the confines of the circus.
You are no longer certain which side of the fence is the dream."
Isn't this just the pure magic of story? Where reality blurs and the world on the page becomes your own heartbeat ❤
