This is a second read for me. A gift I received from a friend. The first time I was set upon with such a regretful longing for things I let pass from my life, that I thought something might be wrong with me and I had to sit down and examine my past. But in picking up Blu's book again to see where I went wrong, experiencing the longing and regret set within these pages once again, I happily realize that it wasn't my life I was experiencing in these words it was Blu's, merely moving me to feel what he felt in writing them. His words are written so simple and so honestly I was first fooled at how easily I identified with each poem and song depicting the lining of Blumen Young's tender heart. Between the covers of this book is a man's soul opening up before me, a gentleman with gentle words, who made me feel the things he touched in his life so clearly I suffered the burn from his self-image. It's like what I get when I leave a movie house after experiencing a great story. All day, I walk like Blu, I talk like Blu and I feel like Blu... until I am... Mild & Partly Cloudy.
