Every reader has a mood, a path, a curve, or probably infinite other way worldly feelings that mark their own anonymous footprints in the shadowy lanes of books. You do not have to be a book lover to be a reader, you just have to trust the magic of words to place you somewhere beyond your own knowing. To lead you somewhere in those grooves of unexplored understanding. Over the past 2 days, I've flitted away through my reading, not really having the time to read for hours, I have read in those spaces which time has afforded me, those snatches of peace with my book. It could range from moving around on the telephone and glimpsing through a few lines, waiting for a text message and getting lost through the book, glancing down with weary eyes already drooped with sleep and finding a new sense of ease and perfection of flawed being. Those few minutes make up for the further empty hours. That snip of the story hangs there, waiting patiently above by bed for me to arrive so that we can continue our combined journey.
