~Soaring Just Above Water ~

I cannot believe I met Lauren Kate, got her to sign my book and gave her my only sketch of one of her characters, Daniel Grigori, just the other day. I'm still stunned. Just a few pages into her book, Fallen and I was an instant fan like WOAH! Page after page after page of pure brilliance and  beautifully written words, scenes and characters! And after I read Torment, good god, I was beyond just pulled in! I was frikking trapped in the book and all it's wonders! Angels and Demons and a divine war between Heaven and Hell!  O.O

I think I might just pass out because the awesomeness of it just hit me clean across my pretty face.

Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with the divine, Angels and the foreverness of the heavens above. Even one of my very first original stories was about Angels. Whether it be clear blue with clouds or dark, star sprinkled skies, or a sunrise or sunset just over the wide, never ending  horizon, I cannot pull my gaze from it. I can look on at the sky forever. I don't exactly know why I do it. Because I don't have just one answer as to why...

I do it because it makes me feel that there is something more out there. Much more to what I'm seeing-to what we're all seeing. The feeling is big. And when it hits me, I don't just stumble, I fly on impact.

I look up because I do admit that I am always half expecting to see just maybe a glimpse of something...Otherworldly. (and, no, i do not mean aliens. LOL. though i do believe in their existence strongly.) Something that'll make me gasp and make my eyes go wide and make me smile! Like when you see a falling star. Sometimes I even like to think that those falling stars are the Angels themselves. Flying across the night sky in lightning speed. Leaving us humans Awed, speechless, entranced and questioning at their wake. And soon we would not be able to tell them apart from any other star in the sky. (Fallen readers know that line well i hope haha!)  ;>

This book, the story, each character and how it's written is amazing. It's given me back a feeling I thought was going away. And with that feeling, I think a new is one rising along with it. The book reached into me and touched my heart, my mind and my spirit in many ways and for that I am forever grateful  :)

Much love, Ms.Kate! (i'll be posting a picture with this as soon as i know how!) :)))
