I have no room for books.
And I stored them in my mother's basement.
And now I have to do something with them.
And so one day, I'm driving out to my mother's nursing home, and I pass this used bookstore.
And I think, I'm going to donate them there.
And so I drive back to my mother's house.
I pack up the car, and I take the books to the store.
And the woman who owns the store looks exactly like Angela Merkel, the German chancellor.
And she is completely, 100% delighted.
And she's going through the boxes.
She's opening them all up.
And I look down, and I see the copy of Oh Holy Cow.
And I am so emotionally exhausted that I do nothing.
And I let the book go.
And the book, I watch the boxes go to the back of the store and they disappear.
And a ritual begins.
I go to visit my mother in the nursing home, I pass the bookstore, and I think, AJ's book's in there.
I go to the nursing home, I pass the bookstore, I think, AJ's book's in there.
And I realize that the book is starting to take on this amazing power, certainly far more than it ever had when it was in a box in my mother's basement, and I thought of it only once in a great while.
And I realize that the power stems from the fact that my mother is still alive.
