The Truth of You

This is the truth of you.
Because you are all I see.
Because you are all I breathe.
Because when I cannot find you, I am lost.
Because when I’m with you, I am found.
Because you have the fire of the universe in you, and sometimes you forget.
So this book is here to remind you.

Dear You,
I want you to know that I see you.  
I want you to know that even if no one else does, even if you are a ghost in this bookshop, or just the static floating across the screen of your computer, wherever you’re reading this, I see you.
I see you in the dark and I see you in the grey. I see you as a story, as words I have spoken or may yet speak. Maybe only in a memory or a dream.
I see your hands and your arms and your body and your legs and your face and I see what you have been and what you will be. I see you and in looking at you, I want you to know that whoever you’ve had to be to survive all this, I will not look away.
I want you to know that there’s a space inside this book for you.
So if you have the time and the inclination, you can sit here with me, just for a while.
And perhaps between us, we can see everything that matters.

    This book can be a place we can return to when the world gets too much, a place you will always be welcome.

    Dear You,

    I want you to know that I see you.

    I want you to know that even if no one else does, even if you are a ghost in this bookshop, or just the static floating across the screen of your computer, wherever you’re reading this, I see you.

    I see you in the dark, and I see you in the gray. I see you as a story, as words I have spoken or may yet speak. Maybe only in a memory or a dream.

    I want you to know that the space between the letters in this book is a space for you.

    So if you have the time and the inclination, you can sit here with me, just for a while.

    And perhaps between us, we can see the truth, as it stands in these moments that we share.

    —Iain S. Thomas
