[The book is Love Letters of Great Men and Women From The Eighteenth Century To The Present Day, and it is left on a pew at the nearby church before Ella’s flight out of town. Again, it is posted on BookCrossing.com almost immediately by notafairytale. The note is hand-written and tucked within.] Universe, This seems like an odd place to leave a book about love letters, doesn’t it? This place, it’s about faith. Some people put their faith in religion, while others put their faith in science. Others still, put their faith in themselves. I’ve always wondered where my faith resided. We never went to church when I was little, and I stopped praying a very long time ago, when no one answered. I find no solace in science either, however. There is too much it does not explain, cannot explain. As for faith in myself; I am the first to admit I need assistance when things seem dark. I think that, for a very long time, I put my faith in happy endings. In finally receiving a letter, much like the ones in this book, that let me know someone burned for me more than the sun burned in the sky. It was a sort of faith, you see. Something to turn to when things were dark; something that could happen. I leave this book here for someone else who might need something to see them through. I no longer think I need it. At least I hope that is the case. notafairytale, BookCrossing.com P.S. My favorite is the 1713 Voltaire. |
