Been wanting to write and have written just to erase..
Stumblin over the block... roughed yet grinnin.. one more time here I go... but hey this time no 'morbidity'..
I'm enjoyin the solitude and the sound of my breath.
Have a dozen things I want to do.. but like most of my grand plans.. they may never materialise.
Set up a library at home and in office.. Feels marvellous!! I walk into the house n look at my books.. cannot explain the sense of belonging and oneness and harmony when I look at the much loved titles I have collected over the years.
As a critic of my very own self.. I've pondered about the various strains in my own basic nature and would like to believe that I find joy in giving. I love Gibran's take on giving when he says 'You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.'
Can't think of giving away my books. Went for a dog show 2 months back with the family. Hubby was so enthusiastic and pure virgo male that he is.. doesn't have an affinity for dogs.. didn't take me too long to figure out where the interest lay infact. Had everything to do with the beautiful female owners strutttin with their pets on leash while unleashing carnal desires in every hot blooded male.
Couldn't complain cos you see I had found my place in the unleashing desires forum... an entire area full of second hand books up for sale!! Pretty good ones too.. Would have given the Rottweilers a run for their money at the rate I was salivating.
Dog lovers apparently gave away their books towards canine charity! What a marvellous thought. Lapping up my personal collection with great speed.. and putting them up with great relish on my bookshelf, I mused aloud.. would I give you away my beloved for a cause..?
Still am pondering about it. Idealism would prompt me to say that ofcourse I would.. but my books???? Would I... i dont think I would like be tested.. Discretion is the better part of valor... aint it?

The dog lovers have definitely made the book lovers happy. secondly the hubby has made his wife happy by letting her stack all her priced collection in the living room . That is a good sign of true love.
