Mind your books
I have many bookcases in my house. Some hold books that I have read or intend to read. Others are dedicated to music. And still, others hold stories. Stories that have been read and those that await reading, within which store lots of material to learn.
But my favorite bookcase is the one that you can’t see, for it is my secret bookcase. It holds lots of stories that include memoirs, fiction, and non-fiction works. At any time I choose I can go to that bookcase and pull out an adventure. What I like about all the things I pull out of that bookcase is that everything is vivid, not only in color but in 3-D and action.
As packed as it is, it weighs little and takes up no space at all. This bookcase is portable. I just have to be mindful of it. Since no one else can see it and I can carry it with me, its resources are available at all times. Ask me anything and if the answer is on my bookcase, I can just pull it out and share it. Everything in my bookcase can only be seen by me. So if you want to see something from my bookcase, I have to transcribe it for you, which I’m usually willing to do.
Another perk to this bookcase is I don’t have to decide what I want to read from it all of the time. A lot of times it just throws out things for me to see, whether I’m interested or not, especially at night.
I’m pretty sure that everyone owns a bookcase like this that they carry around with them. Some people use the books and stories on their shelves more than others.
Unfortunately, there are those that enjoy sharing their fictional views from their shelves and pretend that their sharings are non-fiction. I really have trouble with those sharers. As a friend of mine always says, “Stick to the truth and if not at least admit that it’s fiction beforehand.” People don’t always like to be fooled.
But I guess that is the way of the world. So keep your bookshelves stacked and always leave room for more. Mind you, as for me, I’ll just put this piece back on my bookcase and await the sharings from each of your secret bookcases.
