A New Blog

From my creative writing days in high school to now, words delight me. The endless ways in which they can be put together. The things that they can trigger. Emotions. Scenes. Memories. Longings. Beauty. Questions. How you can swirl them in your mouth and enjoy the taste and sound as you speak them. How they can nourish or negate, worship or wound, teach or trick.

A good book or quote to me is when the speaker uses words in a way I've never read, when words are strung together in a new pattern that it makes me stop and reread and oftentimes, reread again.....

While I already have a blog where I record my own writing, my hope is this will be a place to record the various things I read that stick with me. The things that make me say "hmmmm" as I read, for the joy of being introduced to that particular thought or way of viewing something.

A fitting quote to begin with:

"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."

C. S. Lewis

Oh, how he speaks the truth. Come sip some tea and words with me......
