The softness of my latter days

 





I helped a library patron at the front desk of my library. She looked around adoringly at our library and said "This is such a wonderful library! You must love working here!"

As in the stories of people dying and having their whole lives flash before their eyes in an instant, so a hundred thousand feelings and responses came flitting through my brain at the speed of light. 

But all I said was "Absolutely. It is magical."

And I twenty percent meant it.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
