I'm writing this book in the Boaters Cafe. It happens that way in the Boaters Cafe.
Time works differently here.
There's a spaciousness and a sense of place, time has a larger, fuller shape that barely brushes the everyday world and leaves just a trace of its gracious form. The words on this page work in much the same way. Your eyes and your mind tend to move along, word by word, moment by moment, one by one till they come to the end. But these words are merely the surface marks of some larger thing. Look through the words and seek the space that lies underneath the time and place where you sit right now.
