Starting a novel is opening a door on a misty landscape;
you can still see very little but you can smell the earth
and feel the wind blowing.
~ Iris Murdoch, from her debut novel: Under the Net

Love this. It’s why we read, isn’t it?
It is.
Indeed.
I’ve never seen it like this but it’s a BEAUTIFUL image – and I haven’t memory of this sentence either. I therefore mustn’t have read her first novel …. what a treasure!
That’s exactly how I feel with the spring coming on tender feet – every day anew.
Me too!
“…with the spring coming on tender feet..” what a way you have with words, Kiki! Beautiful…
Thank you dear Lori. So have YOU!
Dale, it IS! Or sometimes I think it’s like opening a Christmas pressie – I’m reading SO much, trying to ‘cram in’ as many books as possible before going blind (mind you, not complaining, just facing the facts) – and I feel like getting gifts every single time I open a new book.
I understand this “cramming” part. I get it. Let’s hope this blind thing is way off Kiki.
Oh so true!
It is!
So true….so true
Isn’t it though?
