“You have to seduce the reader, manipulate their mind and heart, listen to the music of language. I sometimes think of prose as music, in terms of its rhythms and dynamics, the way you compress and expand the attention of a reader over a sentence, the way the tempo pushes you towards an image or sensation.

When you are reading, the physical object of the book should disappear from your hands.” ThinkingWorldWayWantShouldWritingMindHeartBookSometimesHandsReadingLanguageTermForgetAttentionObjectsReaderSentencesDisappearIntenseRhythmProseSensationsHeart And MindManipulateTempoDynamicsSeducing Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafon
“To trust yourself is to trust Silence. To trust your own heart is to trust the wisdom that is radiating and shining.

Radiantly, clear, and empty. Needing nothing, nourished, and overflowing.” HeartSelfMomentsFeelingsDesireSilenceClearEmptyShiningDisappearTrust Yourself Author:Eli Jaxon-Bear
