WALKS #121 AND #122

I did do my daily walks in past two days but was too busy to post about yesterday's. So this post reports on two days worth of walking. To wit, it took over 100 days of walking around the neighborhood to discover this Miniature Library! These small libraries are among the greatest inventions of our times--it addresses decreasing literacy as well as bring books to areas that have become bereft of bookstores. It's the largest I've seen, with its 3 shelves (I usually see two shelves that are much narrower as the libraries are intended to be small interventions) and so the selection was better than usual. I laughed at myself for foregoing the "How-to-write-a-novel" tome; as with nearly anything I write, I have to do it my way. But I did pick up a book to do a checkmark on my mental list of To-Reads: theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku whose string theory I've applied to my Kapwa poetics and novels. Onward!

-after Joyce Kilmer's "Trees"

I think that

I shall

always

see a library to

be as

lovely 

as a tree

whose wood

creates

homes for bodies,

spirits, and

minds.
