I love To Kill A Mockingbird. A sweet memory from my high school days. Such a powerful, moving book.

Do you know, it has sat with me for almost 3 years now. I still think of it. How lovely the way you dive deeply into words. How you just sink inside the pages. You live and breathe them. Each book must know how much you love them. And when, if ever, you pass them on, someone will hold that energy in their hands. <br /><br />Thank you, MJ. <br /><br />(And thank you, for your recent posts. I am just emerging from a quiet space in my mind (or just taking a breath, looking around before going into water again?), and am catching up on commenting. There is so much beauty in your words and images, MJ. I am so grateful for them all).Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560926974431305982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940873091332056460.post-3750981393053665342011-08-29T18:21:25.466-04:002011-08-29T18:21:25.466-04:00How fabulous is Pride and Prejudice?
