You know I love books and reading. I chose a good career for me, librarian. The job title librarian is disappearing as we focus more on tech and less on books. Sad to say, but facing reality. There are Medical Schools, Law Schools and still some Library Schools. Yet many have changed the name to iSchool or Information Technology School. Oh well, things change.
I bought two books recently, recommended to me by two wise friends. Al recommended "Knowledge of the Holy" and Carol recommended "Holy Moments". When I saw the books together I noticed each has the word Holy in the title. God is good.
For years I avoided reading journals, I thought they might be dull. No way! I read all of May Sarton's journals. They are addictive. She was a well known poet and novelist. She lived by herself in Maine even in old age and ill. What a spirit she shows in her journals. A great role model for aging with strength and grace and a fighting spirit. When old and in pain she pulled herself together and flew to give poetry readings in Europe, Harvard, and more.
