5 Full- hearted stars for It's Already Tomorrow Here by Lucetta Zaytoun.
Full disclosure, I finished this book more than a week ago. I've been struggling to find words that would convey how valuable and moving this book is. I still haven't found them. So, I'm just going to let what comes, spill out. And, I'll hope it comes close to being enough since it will be untidy, from the heart, and as high-level as I can be about it.
It's Already Tomorrow Here shows the power of the written word and the profound impact that sharing paths, stories, triumph, and devastation can have. It paints the way I believe that true healing happens. Healing happens with people and healing happens alone. The books shows how people dance in and out of our lives, when there is music and when there are tears. All different kinds of people. People we welcome in, and those strangers that somehow show up just at the right times. All contributing somehow to our journey, our path, and our healing.
Reading It's Already Tomorrow Here is like a warm blanket and a big bowl of chicken noodle soup. It's both pulled curtains, and an open door with a breeze. It's hiding, and it's celebration. It's broken, and it's patched up and stronger in the parts previously torn by life's disappointments.
But mostly, it's honest. And, a true representation of how it feels to have (and need) both roots and wings. Of feeling planted and free. It's about getting to the bottom of who you are, when you look up and see that for so long, what you thought was so real, so concrete, so lasting, vanishes. Walks away. Finds someone else. And you're left in the aftermath of all the feelings and fears. The quiet. The lonely.
If you know of anyone going through anything... this book is for them. And, for you. Although I don't think the point of the writing was to be for you. It was just to let it all out. And, that is exactly what Lucetta does in the book. She puts it out there, raw. Unashamedly. Stripped down and looking upwards for hope, for light while standing in the middle of the dark. If you haven't been there. You will. And, I hope you'll remember this book. Because, healing happens alone. And with others.
This book lifted me in ways I really needed. And, the timing of it could not have been more personal or relevant for me. Maybe it's like that for everyone who reads it. I don't know. This book is eye contact. It is intimate in the way that you'll feel seen and be able to fully see someone else. And, what a better world this would be if we all took a little bit of time, and appreciated the dancing in and out of the people in our lives and really understood that we are all just welcoming each other home. One journey, one heartache, one tear, one belly laugh, one beer, and on all-in watergun fight at a time.
