She searched for love.
She found herself.
Zora Neale Hurston gave us Janie Crawford — a Black woman who refuses to disappear inside expectation.
Day 13 of 28.
We are still watching the horizon.

A thought about books and serendipity. #BookSky
I bought #TheirEyesWereWatchingGod by Zora Neale Hurston at a flea market decades ago because it sounded like the title a friend recommended.
But it wasn't. Not even close.
Now, it's one of my favorite books. Embrace the serendipity.

As Janie was leaving to meet Tea Cake at the beginning of chapter 13, it’s said that “It was hard to love a woman that always made you feel so wishful.”
What does that mean to you?
