Not that it was beautiful but that, in the end, there was a certain sense of order there, something worth learning. (Anne Sexton)

I love your random photos of NYC.
In response to your question: looking back, I can't believe I never put up the title! I guess I forget sometimes that people can't read my mind. It doesn't help that my best friend, who usually does read, almost can read my mind. Anyway, the book is called "Towers of Midnight," and it is #13 in the Wheel of Time series. Robert Jordan began it, but died a few years ago, and the series is being finished by Brandon Sanderson. If you like fantasy (and extremely long books), I highly recommend it.
And thanks so much for your kind comments re: religion. I try to be reasonable, and to honor as much as possible all the various bits of information I've pulled together. I don't know. I guess we'll see, won't we?
