She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.

Each time I open the blinds in the kitchen, it feels like the light is saying, "Hello. It's so good to be here."
p.s. The book above is The Long Now by Uta Barth, a favourite I return to often.

ReplyDeleteYou really know how to create a mood. This one is absolutely serene. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI just started reading my first Annie Dillard book (Pilgrim at Tinker Creek) last night! After spending a day soaking up the sun and walking ankle deep in mud at the arboretum, it made me tear up repeatedly! So many beautiful sentiments and such a sense of wonder. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe play of light and shadow here is just amazing. And the atmosphere is so so calm...
