Vintage Books
One of the reasons I love thrift stores is
because
of
books.
I collected books for a while; old dusty books that I'd never
read
but that I just fell in love with for some
reason or another.
I still have most of them.
I found this book maybe 11 years ago
(it's dated 1970),
and I still love it.
Jean Vanier worked with mentally and physically handicapped,
which is interesting, because my favorite writer, Henri Nouwen did too.
This book is a collection of poetry, musings and thoughts of Jean.
I think this poem has spoken to the deepest parts
of
me like almost nothing else.
I feel like this piece is me.
I need to talk
and walk
with another.
I need to express myself
say things. . . .
this is a movement of life
life that is in me
and needs to flow out. . .
i must speak. . .and dance
sharing things I love and hate
my hopes, my joys, my fears, my griefs. . .
giving myself
giving my life
giving life
Can you relate?
Stay tuned for other goodies from time to time from this puppy.
