Did I REALLY ride an elephant as a child like I so vividly remember? Because NO ONE ELSE in my family remembers. It plagues me.

A few months ago I was distraught over moving and not having a “tribe“. That infamous group of people everyone raves about, elusive always to myself because let’s face it, I am a homebody and I like it.
I found myself bringing up this self-diagnosed lack to everyone as the MOVE grew closer. My “people” are in fact my family – the very group I was leaving. And it was one member of my family that ta

| I love Wendell Berry's writing. It is slow, thoughtful, and poetic. I'm glad I started with Hannah Coulter as Nathan Coulter is short and may not have "hooked" me as well as Hannah Coulter. That did not stop me from wanting to devour Berry's other wo ...more | |

| The magical system in this book is VERY interesting and unique. I love the idea of connecting runes to magic and the process of constructing runes and the risk that entails. The different instruments used to write runes is also something fun to explo ...more | |

| An amazing in-depth look at a period of American history glossed over in the history books. It lays out the foundation of how the rules were bent to make the forced evacuation - and then internment of hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans - leg ...more | |

“To survive, you must tell stories.”

― The Island of the Day Before
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
