“A book is like a man – clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
~John Steinbeck
(Somehow this comforts me.)

That is a lovely quote, Kathleen. If I was a book, I’d be a very strange and surreal one. The cover tattered, pages well-thumbed and dog-eared.
Thanks for this…
