Deeper Exploration

 

 

 Mega day for writing today.  You'd think I was working on a deadline.  I managed to churn out some words despite leading a volunteer group today. Possibly being surrounded by books again made a difference.

 

A curious thing:

 

So one of the icebreakers at this particular volunteer opportunity is to go around the bookstore and pick a book that says something about you or that you like and present it to the group.  I originally picked out a book about John Adams, which was NOT the McCullough biography which is on my all time favorites list.

 

I saw some toddlers who were going through the Young Adult section and so I knelt down and the girl child presented me with an "Oracle Of Love" novel, which looked like it belonged to the same class of books like "Gossip Girl."  I mused that she must have heard me mention soaps and Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill. The boy-child handed me a book about codes and ciphers and cryptography, which kinda floored me as when I was a little kid, I was all about that stuff.  I still love that now. I was floored because he picked something that I hadn't told too many people about and that brought me back to a better time.
