Unfinished . . .


I much prefer a book with an ambiguous ending than a tidy ending because I believe it better reflects the uncertainty of real life. It helps me practice being okay with not knowing.

Amazing how we still have to “practice being okay with not knowing” after all these years, isn’t it? You’d think we’d be used to it by now...

(I love that picture.)

sometimes a tale DOES end with a period... esp if she was concerned about missing her's... and, no doubt, a HAPPY ending... in her case! :O lol

Beth - Yes, I don't know if it well ever come easily.

laughingwolf - you crack me up! *ahem* Well, I guess if you put it thataway . . .

I am a control freak, so I like all of my loose ends neatly tied, even if it doesn't reflect reality.

And it took me a while to work out that 'period' can also mean 'full stop' in America, period only has one meaning here!

Sam - it's funny, I've run into some language differences between us, also. I can usually tell a British blogger by how they say 'whilst' and we say 'while'. No tidy endings for me, though ;)
