Let me into a bookshop and I can browse forever. Until hunger, thirst or the outer world demands attention. Today it came in the form of my nine year old demanding we go for burgers as promised. But I had already found my prize. A biography of one of my favorite poets. One I didn’t know existed just one week ago. So finding a copy on the sales shelf made my day.
Between the covers
of a book, a world is bound
happiness is found

Since the pandemic started I’ve been buying books online, which is convenient but it doesn’t match that bookshop magic!
