I feel, holding books, accommodating their weight and breathing their dust, an abiding love. I trust them, in a way that I can't trust my computer, though I couldn't do without it. Books are matter. My books matter. What would I have done through these years without the library and all its lovely books?
When we talk about God, I think what most of us mean is some greater thing, some higher power that can help us access our own strength or give us strength.
