Killing Commendatore

I recently read my first Haruke Murakami novel, “Killing Commendatore.”  To me it is about belief in things that are a bit beyond the concrete.  If you pick up an orange and squeeze it, you say it is an orange.  There is no belief in that, nor the fact that it is an orange, is it going to advance some knowledge about yourself, your deeper self.  Belief does that as this novel points out.  Belief is in things that don’t have to make sense in a concrete fashion, or a scientific sense, to tell you much about yourself.  Belief leads you onto a path, if you have the courage and fortitude to follow, in which much will be revealed beyond STEM school studies.  Good fiction is never fiction.  It possesses much truth. Each of us is a story.  Believe in yourself and be open to happenstance, the unexpected scene or sound or presence.  And your life will unfold if you let it.
