And all the woods are alive with the murmur and sound of Spring,
And the rose-bud breaks into pink on the climbing briar,
And the crocus-bed is a quivering moon of fire
Girdled round with the belt of an amethyst ring.

I am going to be away....at the beach, in Rockport, Mass. for the weekend. A few weeks ago, a very dear friend had to go for an MRI...it is not something that she enjoys and asked that i tag along for "support"....since you are not supposed to laugh or move so much as an eyelash, i could not understand why she chose ME....all i do is make her laugh, with my inane comments and dryly sarcastic humor. It was the longest hour i have ever had to keep my mouth shut!! A few days later, she stopped in, handed my daughter a small book and asked that she give it to me when i got home. It is without a doubt, one of my most treasured possesions...it is like it was written just for me. it is hard to explain how i feel when i read it...and i have read it over and over again. the closest thing i can say is that it makes my insides glow!
And so it begins....
"At the beach, life is different. A day moves not from hour to hour but leaps from mood to moment. We go with the currents, plan around the tides, follow the sun. We measure happiness by nothing we can hold. Nothing we can catch." i will periodically be illustrating excerpts of this in hopes of getting through my dreaded winter...but i thought i would start now, as i leave for a last hurrah before heading back into the classroom on Tuesday....i hope you enjoy!
"I read like the ink from the book is oxygen and I'm gasping for breath."
I hope heaven has books.
Freddy, Mum, and I stopped at our favorite used bookstore on the way to visit Gran today. We hadn't been there in ages. It is funny after years of visiting I finally felt at ease enough to grab a latter and start climbing. Yep you heard right...he has rolling latters!?! Each needed a special dose of soul soothing and this was our moment for the day.
Lady worker: Can I help you find anything?
Mum: No, thank you. I'm not much of a shopper. I find what I want and I'm ready. I'm waiting on my daughters.
Lady worker: Well just don't leave your kids here. We trade in books, not kids.
Mum: They are in their twenties so they wouldn't be much of a bother. They would probably love it if I traded them for a pile of books.
