Lost In Wonder and Delight

It's a wonderful thing to read think of many who can't do that those of us who can see clearly have a gift that many wish to indeed There is nothing like a great book one that holds you in its grip you just can't seem to put it down it's like a good wine, take a sip You feel its smoothness as you touch bringing a glow to you within it's importance conveyed in its words each one has a meaning to bring No matter its size or numbers there's a character within, it's own whatever its subject matter it has authenticity being no clone So let's sum up what it means lost in wonder and delight in many ways its effect is sublime turning your darkness into light (This is written by a book lover, describing the great wonder of a loving a book and all it conveys)

Wonderful words penned, Gordon. I always loved to read, and I took it for granted until I met a man who was in his early seventies who was taking classes to learn how to read. I started helping him when I could, and it was the most joyful I had ever seen anyone when he started putting the sounds together. He was so proud of himself, as was I. Reading is a true gift. Blessings to you and enjoy your Sunday, Rhonda xx
