Every day I write the book
We know your need for completeness is but human, or, better spoken, of human need to know you succeeded.
But in your closing of one book you open others, never quite as interesting until you read further. Personal passion will return in one chapter, while you waver in your trust in another, but by the end you have used all of your earthly delights whether you know it or not. This book is over without the words "the end" written on that final page.
So here we are, not to write "the end", but to help you start a new book entirely your own. It includes characters from your other volumes, but only until they write themselves out. The fascination you had with your own character is waning, but you are still that character until you write yourself out.
To start this new book with your own hand is not even possible. It must be handled with care: you are being led to its first page. And this comes as no surprise, for every book holds itself hidden until you open the leaves and break the seal of its binding.
With each page you turn, your book speaks of adventure or of sorrow, of time spent in this world or lives you have come to cross and re-cross, for no purpose you can say just yet.
