The weight of water - anita shreve...

Another beautiful book!
I finished it in 2 days flat!
This book also has been made into a movie...
I think I wont see the movie.....
I want the images in my head to be as it is!
The book explores emotions .. something that Anita Shreve is an expert at.
jealousy, tender love, joy, murder, sex.....
the high point of story  for me, is the way , the writer has made a beautiful collage of past and present events.....
the twist at the end is the most   unexpected ...

must read for all fans of Anita Shreve....

All HE EVER WANTED - ANITA SHREVE..

This is second book that I read by the same author.

The first one being The Last Time They Met....

This book asks a lots ethical questions .

1. Should there  be  secrets between couples?
2. What exactly is the meaning of space in a relationship?
3. Can one partner love more than the other?
4. What is the status of the person who loves less? or does not love at all?
5. Can a relationship work ie. make both the concerned people happy and content, if both are
     using each other?
6. Is a co-dependent relationship healthy?

 One of my favourite quotes.....

"Sometimes it seems to me that all of life is a struggle to contain the natural impulses of the body and spirit, and that what we call character represents only the degree to which we are successful in this endeavor." 
— Anita Shreve (All He Ever Wanted)

the surrender....

I have these eyes.... 
they are useless to me......
as  I cant see you ...

Yesterday I watched this Movie again.....

My favourite quotes from the movie

1.
Who the hell do ya think you're talking to? I've been around, ya know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these. Their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prostetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot solder back home to Oregon with tail between his legs, but I say you are executing his SOUL! 




2.
Makers of men, Creators of leaders. Be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here. I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong. I'm not a judge or jury, but I can tell you this: He won't sell anybody out to buy his future! And that, my friends, is called integrity. That's called courage. Now that's the stuff leaders should be made of. Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, committee. It's a valuable future. Believe me. Don't destroy it. Protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you!

your memories..

Wherever  I  may be..
you follow me in my heart....

Yes, there are a number of people, around me..
but how can I speak to them about my  deepest feelings..

Inside me there is a lonely place.. that nobody knows.....
only YOU know it....

your memories haunt me...
ONLY your thoughts, remain with me....
give me hope and I live on....

I see you as you are and I love you as you are....

I see you as a little human child........
innocent and sweet...
living in the remote  village...
with your brothers and sisters....
walking and running to school.....

I see you as a youngster, falling in love for the first time.....
writing love letters to your beloved....
laughing and having fun with your friends...

I see you as an ambitious young man,
struggling to get your share of recognition,
waiting for luck to shine on you
hoping for a beautiful life......

I see you ,as you are.....
I see your soul ,
I see your dreams,
I see your fear....

I see all your flaws,
You are not perfect.....
You can never be..
There is beauty in the imperfection, my baby!
You are a human being.......
And I love you...

You are losing me....

My love is like a tender plant....
It needs water and sunlight everyday...
It needs your expressions of love...
Your tender touch and sweet words...
It needs to be acknowledged and valued.....
I  have communicated to you many times,
that one single word, action or  glance,
from you is enough.....
You cant afford to  leave me in non-connection,
For hours and days and weeks....
I  will feel abandoned..
I will feel lost.....
I will feel unloved...
I  will slowly wither, fade and then die....
Not from this world...
But from your life....
Because I will find my own sunlight and water again...
I know I will...
I will survive YOU!
