Dressed in velvet and boots, surrounded
by books. This feels right.
I'm in the library, hiding in the local
history section with my laptop. A bust of Lincoln is watching over
me. He freed the slaves and I'm feeling pretty free at the moment so
it's fitting. I love this library: full of nooks and crannies and
chairs to sink down into and lose yourself in a book. Every section
looks different and unexpected treasures await everywhere.
There is a comforting movement of
people around me but nothing that really disturbs the peace.
Googling Lincoln, I come across an appropriate quote by him: "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." I include this in my blog entry. My smugness is then ruined when I find that other famous quote:
"The problem with internet quotes is that you can't always depend on their accuracy." (Abraham Lincoln, 1864)
