Thank you. <br /><br />Josey, some of my favorite books are for children. And I love librarians. And me too: I read for just those moments. <br /><br />Latayne, your are the master (mistress?) of thin places in literature. <br />Kathleen Popahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682046279211463305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-56873647959027507432014-07-11T05:10:44.305-07:002014-07-11T05:10:44.305-07:00This article touched me; poignant in all the best ...This article touched me; poignant in all the best ways.Latayne C Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133535124591010838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-11060395863575450702014-07-11T05:05:42.068-07:002014-07-11T05:05:42.068-07:00Love this post!

It made me *sigh* the way I do at the end of books.<br />Honestly though, it's been a long time since I've read a book with "thin places" in it.<br />Lately most of what I've been reading is for elementary students. I'm a librarian.<br />But I'm sure I've had that moment before in books. It's why I read......chasing that moment.Josey Bozzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726048506211545721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-45030799838875530622014-07-11T04:12:50.246-07:002014-07-11T04:12:50.246-07:00Oh!

I was thinking about this post a few weeks ago, remembering it, with no idea what it was called, or when it was posted, but remembering that it had impacted me greatly and wanting to read it again. <br />To tell you the truth, that first time I read your third-last sentence - touching the hand to the veil - somewhere in that sentence an image was birthed that led to an opening, that led to the genesis of a novel. I tried to write it back then and ended up realising I needed to let it simmer a while longer. I tried again a few months ago and it's closer, but not there yet. It's kind of comforting, however, to know it's waiting there. <br />That has nothing to do with anything here...but there you go. Thank you again! Katy I do think you may be my muse... :)Megan Sayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410068162701570057noreply@blogger.com
