Poisonwood Bible Books 6&7 Dialogue Journal
Such childhood energy I spent on feeling
betrayed. By the world in general, Leah in
particular. Betrayal bent me in one direction
while guilt bent her the other way. We
constructed our lives around a
misunderstanding, and if ever I tried to pull it
out and fix it now I would fall down flat.
Misunderstanding is my cornerstone. Its
everyones, come to think of it. Illusions
mistaken for truth are the pavement under our
feet. They are what we call civilization (532).
