Toward the One
When I was in my early teens in suburban US (OMG no secondary bus routes yet, so stultifying!,....! Can you believe I had to live through that?) Anyway.. my mother joined a book club and, very democratically, allowed me to choose a couple of the free books per year allotted to the membership. One of my selections was Toward the One. I have thought of this book many times over the years. It's the delight I felt upon receiving it which leaves this residue of memory. I was so delighted when it arrived on the doorstep. Older me has puzzled over the recollection of that response.
I lost track of the book itself. I remember it had a dedication to Noor Inayat Khan. I noticed the photo of Noor Inayat Khan accompanying the dedication. In later years I recognized the same photo in A Man Called Intrepid and made a connection. Hey! That's the same person! What does that mean? I still don't know what it means.
I have an idea that spirit approached Earth for that battle (WWII). Spirit was not invested on behalf of precision in train schedules.

I'm thinking of this now because PBS has a biography of her on broadcast currently. Get your learn on. sigh. It's rough out there.
