The kids have discovered the best way to get my attention. Just say, "Books!" and I'll look up from whatever I'm doing.
It's a family joke that I have a world of my own (thus the name of my blog is Rita's World). My world is completely disconnected from reality, full of twinkling stars and magic. I disappear into this world when I'm writing or reading or making jewelry ... and also at odd moments throughout the day when I fall into a daydream.
And the magical word to transport me back is BOOKS.
Loving, living, writing, art, family, friends, music, and books. Us and our small corner of the world. Because, as we all know, the world is square. For only a square world has corners.
And the sad or exhilariting thing - depending on outlook - is that there are more books than you can ever read in a lifetime. Whiskey is almost as bad.
