Another why moment

• Reading was her way into the worldfor she knew
  nothing beyond the family, which was her house,
  enclosing her on four sides, the entire and only
  truth. White walls like sheets of paper, the
  rules of life written on them in invisible ink.
  Reading tore holes in these paper walls and let
  her inspect another worldBooks let her float out
  of herself and into a sort of golden cloudthe
  book and the world were one and she was both and
  neither, she was not there, she was everywhere.
