Reading The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon, and so far, it's like a modern Fahrenheit 451. This quote is just amazing:
"Words are living legends, swollen with significance. We string them together to make stories, but they themselves are stories, encapsulating rich, runny histories."
(PS: Last week was a very. long. week. So I hope you'll excuse the silence of the blog. I didn't even have the energy to whip up a little something to post. Between the emotions of the funeral of my husband's uncle and the energy draining back-to-back meetings and events (at and outside of work) of the other four days, I have read next to nothing, falling asleep every time I tried actually. I also totally dropped the ball on most other blog activity, from social media to reading other blogs. Hopefully this week will bring it all back to normal.)
So sorry to hear of all your personal difficulties. I hope things get better soon.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing quote from a thought provoking book!
Thanks! The schedule is looking better this week already!
DeletePrayers are with you and your family. I didn't blog much because of Spring Break and hopeI can get back in the dswing of things this week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will link up this post with my #SmallVictoriesSunday #linky. This is a fabulous quote and I look forward to reading this book.
Much appreciated. I will attempt to get something out to link.
DeleteI love this quote (so I added the book to my ever growing to-be-read list)
ReplyDeleteThis one is just awesome...there's another I put up today that is from the same book, also about words.
