books
May 16, 2008A paragraph transports you to another world. A sentence brings you closer to the heart of the universe. A word gives you the truth. That is the power of books.
closer
I am closer to her more than I ever have been. I have separation anxiety. I don’t want to be far from her. I hate saying goodbye in the morning on my way to work. I hate seeing her wave goodbye as she goes to work in the afternoon.
weekends
You don’t work. You have time to read, to cook, to swim, to gaze at the sky without worry of deadlines, to lie down and be lazy, to take your time eating, to drive around town, to discover new places, to hunt books, to look for new bookstores, to go to the grocery, to spend time with her, to hold her hand, to touch her cheeks, to make love, to poke fun at the world, to poke fun at yourself, to clown around, to make faces, to be a child again.
