I break the drudgery of shopping, by going to sniff books in the book emporium in town.Today it was busy with more people than it was made to hold; as I’d had enough of noise, I moved on.
In the library I took my place on the floor and began to read aloud. Parents and children gravitated towards my space, they sat themselves down with children clutched in arms and listened. Once I finished I popped my coat on smiled, nodded and left. My calling found, I will return there next Tuesday as the old fashioned story teller.
This is gorgeous. Not unlike where I was headed for my flash. I love it. Well done! 🙂

Love this on so many levels. “By sniffing books” is a phrase that makes me think print might indeed never go away. But to find one’s calling like that, what a sweet feeling. Thanks for joining in this week!
