Fire Monks
Page 56:
"At this point, fire could come from any direction. And yet, observed Shundo, 'it looked like the fire was building up and getting closer, and then it seemed to peter out. There was a definite dip.' The firefighters clearly had intended to impress upon them that this was serious business. But the fire was still three days away --as it had been estimated to be for more than a week, earning it the name Three-Day-Away fire among Tassajara residents. "

Strange doubled sensations in her head made it hard for her to ground herself.
Very interesting indeed! Thanks for participating!
I haven't heard of Fire Monks. Zen meets fire fighting? It reminds me of the billboard I saw yesterday: Ba'Hai Dentistry. I wonder what that is like? Ha!
My book beginning is part of my book review for the wonderful historical novel: Between Shades of Gray.
This is a first for me! I'm going to see if I can find this book.
What a strange, weird book!!!
Mom is reading
The Castaways, by Elin Hilderbrand...and it just so happens page 56 has a sentence referencing 9 lives like cats have.
"I can't keep track of all the stories. The man has nine lives."
Hugs Madi and Happy Friday
