Some of my best friends can be found on the printed page. Characters I’ve grown up with and have conversations with in my head. There are others who are newly discovered who speak to my heart. They keep on giving asking little in return except for my attention. They can occasionally remind me that I am not living up to the standards I have set for myself. Especially when the standards are based on their behaviour.
Books are also my teachers. There are so many authors from whom I have learned and I know I have a ways to go before I can match their understanding and knowledge. They not only have the gift of knowledge but the even greater (to me) gift of being able to impart that knowledge.
