When I take a passage from Tolstoy into my mind it explodes and gives birth to other ideas.

We should have a land of sun,
Of gorgeous sun,
And a land of fragrant water
Where the twilight is a soft bandanna handkerchief
Of rose and gold,
And not this land
Where life is cold.
- Langston Hughes-

Poetry provides me a window into a new way of looking at something of the everyday.

One of the things I enjoy when I’m reading is to stop, take a walk to mull over a thought or passage.

Reading should open windows and doors to our spirit as it sparks our imagination and perception.

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in/ A minute to smile and an hour to weep in/A pint of joy to a peck of trouble/………And that is life!

The flowers take the tears/Of the weeping night/ And give them to the sun/For the day’s delight.

A writer expresses themself in a book, a reader through their selection of a book.

There are books from which a reader may learn nothing but by which they may become something.
