"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone."
A total Twilight Zone moment happened to me last Friday.
I was in Payson (a sweet Arizona moutain town) visiting my parents. That evening my parents were exhausted after long days at work, so they went to bed and I went downstairs to search for a good book to keep me company until I cruised to la-la land.
Their shelves are full of lots of delicious choices. I almost decided on the complete short stories of Mark Twain, but then I grabbed this one.
Under the Lilacs by Louisa May Alcott
So that FRIDAY evening (one week ago) I began to page through this pretty purple printed book; past the title sheet and the chapter lists to the very first page...
Where I found this date sheet. {Insert spooky music} It took me half a second of looking at it to realize, "Holy cow! January 28th, that's today. And ohmygoodness even creepier, today is a Friday!"
So anyhow, I decided by fate of super weird and totally cool cooincidences, I simply must read this book.
