Their Eyes Were Watching God

I'm currently reading this book and I recommend it for everyone. Halle Berry stars in the movie version. It is a classic first published in 1937 that was written in only seven weeks by author Zora Neale Hurston. It awakens the imagination and enlarges our humanity. It offers harrowing insights that somehow console and comfort us at the same time. Read it!

"I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountains wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands." --Zora Neaole Hurston in Dust Racks on a Road. Those words she worte remind me of my doomed second marriage and the victory I feel now, happily bethrothed forever to the sweetest man on Earth, my protector....Richard.

God has been watching over ME and I am thankful.
