book besties
My mother-in-law talks about how she has the toughest time purging books because they’re like old friends. Any attempt to pull one off the shelf to give away becomes a sit with and remembering of all the stories loved and shared. And really, who can walk away from a catch up like that?
.
Mid-way through all three, but already know these new besties will be going on my keep shelf.

“may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that”
