This book reminded me of Marianne Williamson Book “A Return To Love” Both authors address social, internal, and external issues of love.
This is so needed around the Globe. I imagine a time, where our society can become fixed on loving to life and not loving to death. In other words we need love. Love knows how to set the world right. It’s the only thing that heals, restores, and gives us hope. That is Love ~your poet Krissy Mosley
I can’t say I have one favorite book , that’s just not fair to the many others. So charge it to my head & not my heart. This week I spent some much needed time reading.
Sometimes I’m just a girl, walking into a book store. Swimming in the minds of other writers- ah that’s life! We’re all a little crazy or maybe it’s just me, I can never find the exit-sign in those places. So I stay until almost closing, get a sense -long body lines come out of nowhere, and then there’s another book that catches my eye – I sniff first, tucking in the lastest cut-timber, ah Lanston Huges, The Negro Mother “Children I come back today, to tell you of the long dark way, that I had to climb, that I had to know”…
I move on: Oscar Wilde hitting me the face, The Ballad Reading Gaol “That fellows got to swing” I skip along the lines, chewing -sweetness and everything in between.
“Some love too little
Some love too long
Some do the deed with many tears
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves; yet each man does not die.”
I look up for a minute, rub the cover of the book, gently place it back on the shelf. I wonder about book owners, are they like me? Do they melt? Do their eyes sparkle in delight of books? I know there are many parts of owning books. Selling books, books on display, one day I might know these operations but for now, it is my own personal luxury.
P.S. I always spend $50.00 plus in bookstores, I say its worth it.
