Book Reading: Book Reading - Book On Tape

  • ( ) Kindle or Swindle? Another Reinvention of the Safety Pin?

    There in the dark, a grumpy old bookseller reads a book under a single golden light. The old man tells the child that the book he is reading, ‘is not safe.'

    When the old bookseller rises to answer the telephone, the child touches the book the old man was reading. The child is so suddenly filled with SOMETHING, he can barely stand it… longing, yearning, hope, joy.

    Without thinking, the child steals/borrows the book. He has to have it. He runs out of the shop and climbs to an attic where he begins to read this magical sheaf of pages.

    The book he has stolen from the old bookseller, opens literally into an entirely different and magical world where he himself is irrevocably poured, body, mind and spirit, a world wherein there is a NOTHING that is devouring the land and people and creatures and in this land are also important thoughts to be thought, important things and beings to realize and rescue, important oddities to understand, important griefs and losses, important because they all reach way past the ego and into the soul.

    My last two homes in Chicago each had their own unique historical aspects, each an example of a classic style unique to that city's storied design past. My spacious condo in a circa 1904, six-unit apartment building, had a gracious, airy floor plan made for entertaining, with a split-parlor living room, beamed-ceilinged dining room and original windows throughout. My most recent home, in the city's famed Bungalow Belt, was one of about 80,000 brick houses built between the early 1910s and the late 1920s, in a collar around the city's outer borders. It had two layers of crown molding, 9-ft. ceilings and built-in, glass-door-fronted bookcases on either side of the ornamental fireplace. Both of these places had acres of full-grained oak trim, still with the original finish.

    Have you ever tried decorating with that much oak? There are, perhaps, three colors that go well with it, and I used variations of these dark, earthy, depressing hues over and over and over again. More>>

    While we we turning cars around many of them went to the gas station and came back with coffe and doughnuts for my partner and myself. It just amazed me at how a lot of people respond to things like that.

    Many said "I could never handle your job"Dear Volunteer Firefighter, It's true - many people could not handle your job. That's why its important to show our appreciation for all that you do! I'm glad to hear about the kindness you and your partner experienced on the job. I do believe many people feel that appreciation - but aren't sure how to show it. Offering a warm drink and something to eat is simple but right on target.Imagine how our communities would suffer if we didn't have members willing to work - and volunteer - for our local fire departments. We truly are lucky to have all of you!Gratefully,Sue

    Hi Sue! I would like you to know that I really enjoy the "Our Local Heroes" that Channel 7 is showing. More>>
