The word this week is READ
The book in the picture is Western Wild Flowers by Margaret Armstrong (1915). A very lucky find once upon a time and one I refer to often when doing art or out hiking.
"She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain." Louisa May Alcott
"Reading means,being ready to catch a voice that makes itself heard when you least expect it, a voice that comes from an unknown source,from somewhere beyond the book, beyond the author, beyond the convention of writing; from the unsaid, from what the world has yet not said of itself and does not yet have the words to say." Italo Calvino
Do you love to read?
Growing up I was never encouraged to read, but once I had a bike and could find the library it became a special place for me to go. I would, even then, look for historic novels and loved reading about famous women. Oh the power of reading and books. The library and books are a treasure we must always protect.
Reading teaches us, Reading entertains us and Reading enchants us.
Have a terrific week, dear friends!
Pick up a book and read.
