I can’t say exactly when I fell in love with the written word, with books – but it has been a love affair for the ages – there has been laughter and hope, tears and tragedy, inspiration and death, chaos and confusion and unexpected clarity – the books I have loved are too many to name and the words that changed my life have been quietly written verses that spoke so loudly to me that I couldn’t NOT listen. Within the pages of my most beloved books is written the story of my life, the mettle and temperament of my heart, the echo of my hidden and conscious mind – the words of my soul. Without words my world is without its colors and flavors – it is grey and bland – it is LESS.I read, I write, I breathe, I feel, I am… This is LIFE.
