Friends to Enemies, Part 2
Apologies for the delay, took me awhile to figure out how to make some of the scenes.
National Book Month
National Book Month has been a lot, but going down memory lane has been so comforting--like hot cocoa, fuzzy socks, a warm blanket...and a good book.
As we get older, we change. We grow, our perspective changes and with more knowledge comes deeper understanding. The Giver by Lois Lowry is still a great book and was a book I still chose to pass onto my nephew when he reached the age of the protagonist, Jonas (12). The first of many young adult dystopian novels, The Giver is unique as it deals more with the politics and touches upon the issues and reasoning for strict and government regulation without all-out war or battle by Jonas or his friends. Around Jonas’ age, I read and loved this book but during a recent reread found the depth of the book I felt originally was lacking. Still touching upon how the adults had lost their way and the understanding of the choices they were making, I had grown and wanted more from the book. This hurts. I felt as thou I had lost a beauty with the book, because for me some of the story is gone. It still makes me sad, thou understanding why I felt this way after first reading it makes me feel better and I can know to look for more books and stories, both in fiction and in real life that inspire me; while still being able to read a good story from my childhood.
In the spirit of Halloween and the change of tides with the Giver, today I’d also like to honour the books I love--whose names I’ve forgotten. I book I still swear is called the Pearl, telling the story of the French resistance during the Nazi rise thru the eyes of a rich girl of privilege, a particular story about Elizabeth Blount’s life and events in England and told thru the eyes of a maid/servant. Hopefully I’ll find you once more
The Giver is a good book--please read

"Hi guys, After in my bedroom for the last 30 minutes trying to record a video message for you, but I can't speak the words I want to tell you without falling into tears. So that's why I'm doing it this way. I'm incredibly proud on your successes of course but also on the resilience you showed after every setback. To Wout & Jonas. When I saw you on tv crying from the pain on the side of the road, I wanted to switch places. I would have taken your injuries if that were possible, just so you could go on chasing your goals and chasing your ambitions like we did together over the past years. I'm still trying to accept the fact that I had to retire. And Jonas & Wout, I don't think you realise how big of an impact you have on this process. You guys give me so much energy when I see videos from you back on the bike, recovering, getting better, improving and chasing your goals. You are able to realize the most remarkable things together as a team. Side by side. Now I'll be there this summer on the side of the road in France. I will always be on your side.
I'll see you soon, stay healthy. Big hug Nathan."

Coming from this article from Escape Collective written by Iain Treloar, which I really recommend. It captures Jonas quite well.
'The press conference see-saws back and forth between questions for Vingegaard and questions for Evenepoel. The younger man is full of compliments for his peers, “the best two in the world,” and proud that he was able to round out the podium behind them. For Evenepoel, the big breakthrough was being consistent. He stumbles on the word a couple of times; Vingegaard looks over to him, smiles warmly, quietly gives him an assist with the pronunciation. Again, not the robot he’s sometimes painted as.'
