picking up a weathered yet still sturdy, small paperback book with folded corner pages for parts of a story loved most and a creased, torn cover that shows the reading miles traveled is like visiting that one special friend where the years between have been wide, but the intimacy of being willingly known and fully understood has gone deeper. and so, they know you & you know them. and the reading continues.
