It means she's lived life. She's gone through so much. Her journey has taken her to the horizon and back. She's talking about gaining empowerment and wisdom.

I study this e book an prolonged time in the past. yet i think of the previous poster is on the splendid music. The horizon isn't inevitably to hell yet to the edge of what existence is and nonetheless survived it. The e book is a flashback. The final financial disaster connecting to the 1st. Janie realizes that by using her adventure in existence : a million. human beings ought to circulate to God and 2. they must locate existence and the act of residing for themselves. it is how they study. it is how they understand that they are human. Janie realizes that however the dying of her husband is painful, as long as she is alive - he's alive interior of her memory, interior of her coronary heart. the entire e book is turmoil after turmoil. The tradgedies that make up existence. She survives it. and thanks to her ability to take a seat down and mirror, she is finally at peace. she would be able to finally "stay by using comparisons" - she would be able to finally seem back on her existence and be happy with it. settle for it.

She's talking about how she's seen each end of the spectrum when it came to life and love and now knows and can live her life accordingly. She's been in loveless marriages where she was abused emotionally and in a loving one. She's encountered death and lived happier for a few months than ever imaginable. Now that Teacake is dead, she can sit and home and reminisce about how good she had it and enjoy her solitude.

I think that's a euphemism for dirty rice.

she's just talking jibberish. What she needs is a good pimp like you to pimp slap her and say:
"YOu GONE GET ME a SAMMICH... hic@!"
