To those who are near: keep your distance; to those who are distant: come nearer.

I am untrusting of language, but it is-ironically-the only way I can truly make myself be heard (or read, more specifically). In literature, you do not simply ingest the writer's work, you become the co-creator of his work, for words are not the writer's canvas; they are merely his paint. Your imagination is the writer's playground. Words are the blueprints that guide your imagination to lay the bricks of the kingdom that the writer dreamed up.

Entrusted I am in you, reader, for it takes just as great a mind to build a castle as it takes to rule one.
