When I was small and easily wounded, books were my carapace. If I were recalled to my hurts in the middle of a book, they somehow mattered less. My corporeal life was slight; the dazzling one in my head was what really mattered. Returning to books was coming home.

“Cycling through the early morning light​

An amazing opportunity expands my sight​

The Dawn exploding like fairies dust​

Feeds my soul with wanderlust​

A lightness seems to fill my lungs​

As my body hears songs unsung​

Mother Nature yawns and smiles​

As I pedal away the miles!”​

​

― Richard L. Jones​
