How Are Things?

A rose bloom - Back yard garden - June 2012


The following is something I thought you might enjoy, a wonderful excerpt from a book I have nearly finished reading, Three Views Of Crystal Water by Katherine Govier. It was sent to me by a dear friend and it has been a most enjoyable read.

Bodies of water, we call them. Fresh, salt, dead, alive, still, fast-moving, tidal, land-locked. I know little about those other bodies which span the world, but I can tell you that the sea I plumb is a trickster. Lashing at the black lava rocks, tasting of the mysterious living things, shot with sunbeams or sunk in massive gloom, it is bitter to the nostrils and stinging to the lips. I've seen rock cliffs under water that trail air bubbles out of some crevice as if they were breathing.

Katherine Govier, Three Views Of Crystal Water, pg 3.


What are you reading these days? Any recommendations?
Enjoy the journey.

I know it's a little silly, but got sucked into reading the Hunger Games books. I'm on the second one - about a third of the way through.
