| ~Blessings of Books~ |
| For as long as I can remember, books have been a haven and refuge for me. Each time I sort through my books, attempting to simplify, these are among the ones I keep returning to my shelf. Something in their pages still calls me to listen with "the ear of my heart." And so I keep listening to the wisdom found in these books. * Macrina Wiederkehr (adapted from The Gold in Your Memories) |
