ONE in FIFTY-FIVE



--Drawing/Painting by one FAVORITE blogger--Claudia
"From my sketchbook/two women at the neighbor table"


When chest feels empty
due to hurting heart,
public library becomes solace…
turning to prayer
holding book to me tightly,
turn page and read:

Amazing! that E V E R Y T H I N G
affects everything else,
is dependent or depends on...

and I alone–as hermit,
missed the whole meaning of
Ocean Universe
in which all things are….
One         

--by steveroni 

(inspired by Claudia!)

      I just re-read a big chunk of your story, Stacie...it never NEVER becomes tiring. Were I your publisher, I'd not change ONE WORD! (And the world SHOULD have opportunity to read or hear it.)

      Switzerland neutral, of course...forgot! And maybe the moon? Would be nice if we take our warring to a moonscape, and let machines fight it out. (Been watching too many movies!)

    The library was were I spent a lonely youth.. It's such a good place to survive a loneliness.. To realize you're outside oneness is so dark yet important.

    Ah yes, I sought solace in the library, and now in writing and reading.

    Yes, I love libraries too - although this morning I had a trip to the library with the children and they were sitting grumpily at a table instead of happily browsing through bookshelves like they normally do. And I wondered at what point does a library become a punishment rather than a reward? Maybe I should stop trying to recommend books to them... Or forbid them to ever enter a library...

    Indeed, I too find solace in books, the smell of paper, the texture of the words underneath my fingertips, the inspiration of the sounds as I mouth the words...
