Time at the Blossoms book shop always ends in a treat, and this was no different if not more special - finding this copy of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, that came with an unexpected and lovely dedication.
A first at the Johnson market, and my happy hobo spirit was tickled even if only for a short while! I wonder if it was the spirit of the book in my bag awaiting to be read, or the reminiscent shadows in my mind waiting to find form.
The book begins by quoting Heraclitus,
"It ever was, and is, and shall be,
ever-living Fire, in measures being
kindled and in measures going out."
And, seems just about perfect to conclude this entry.
I love the way you write about books and reading. It makes me feel beatific ! :)
