“oh how I love to read, she thought. ihe whole world gets bigger.”
— Louise Fitzhugh, Harriet The Spy (1964)

i always was interested in detectives and spies, and books were a way for me to feel a part of it.
without any real danger, but just enough suspense…
on international book day
what i imagine it looks like inside of our heads –
along with
the scientific explanation for how this all works.

i would like to
offer my sincere appreciation
to my 1 and only reader
hailing from
the lovely
french caribbean island
of
guadeloupe.
i wonder which of the people in this picture it is?
each day
one of them wanders
out of the crystal waters
onto the baby powder soft warm welcoming sand
under an azure sky
dotted with fairy floss clouds
back to his/her lovely beach hut
and takes a minute to read my blog.
here’s to you
loyal reader.

appreciation is a wonderful thing.
it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
