In the great book, “Astonishing the Gods” by Ben Okri, the protagonist goes on a magical quest. He is invisible and is surrounded by people who are all visible. He gets curious and decides to go off searching to discover how to become visible.
I won’t spoil the rest of the book. It’s phenomenal. The writing alone makes it worth your time. But I will say that he doesn’t find what he’s looking for (You understand that much by reading the back cover of the book). Instead he discovers something 10x greater than he hoped for, which changes him on a deep level.
It’s a story of transformation. And it challenged my outlook on life. It resonated with my soul on a deep level. And I guarantee it will do the same to you.
Now I ask myself the question: Am I visible or invisible?
Which one are you?
** This might be one of the few times I share a book that resonated with me. I only do so because it is 1) short, 2) a beautiful story and 3) incredibly profound. I can’t recommend it enough.
