“I guess that’s all forever is…Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now.”— Nicholas Evans (The Horse Whisperer)
“Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater. “— Nicholas Evans
I am looking for that last book published by Nicholas Evans. It’s now on paperback. I wish I could visit National Bookstore soon and buy a copy. I have copies of his four books published earlier than The Brave, have re-read them all because I simply love the stories.
Nicholas Evans was born and grew up in Worcestershire, England. He studied law at Oxford University, graduating with first class honors. He is one of my favorite authors.
Glad you get so much enjoyment from his books, Arlene. The quote you posted makes a lot of sense.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thank you Pete, he is one of the best. He and his wife were poisoned by wild mushrooms they ate in Cornwall (I think) and his kidney was damaged so for three years he was not able to write. The Brave is only his 5th book.

Loving that first quote Arlene. “I guess that’s all forever is…Just one long trail of nows.” Perhaps this is why it is so important to live each moment of ‘now’.
