These are but wild and whirling words.

Whilst I concede that texting is “convenient”, I much prefer all correspondence to be in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight with a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven.

A drawin in warm and light tones of The Folk at the Rootwood. Fritti (an orange tabby with a star shaped spot on his forehead) is lying in the foreground amongst red Flowers. He is bathing in rays of yellow light beaming through the canopy. Light green trees form the backdrop while a scattering of cat silhouettes is sitting amonst them. A purple haze in the upper quadrant adds a mystic tone.

“But our own selves are like pearls, created by layer after layer of present laid over past until the original thing is completely hidden.”
― Tad Williams, Tailchaser's Song

🎨At the Rootwood by Stephanie Law

Painting of a grey cat with yellow eyes. It gazes out from the page of a book, looking past us, ears erect. Despite a serious demeanor, it wears a red bowtie with white spots. The page is printed in French and washed in shades of gold.

'Books have souls,’ repeated the cat softly. ‘A cherished book will always have a soul. It will come to its reader’s aid in times of crisis.'

Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

The Cat that walks by himself walks down a path lined by trees. An illustration by Rudyard Kipling.

"When the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to him. Then he goes out to the Wet Wild Woods or... on the Wet Wild Roofs, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone."
- Rudyard Kipling, "Just So Stories"
#BookWormSat

Pen and ink drawing of large dog with stop watch attached to him. His paw is reaching the top of the watch to shut it off.

“KILLING TIME! Roared the dog-so furiously his alarm went off. It’s bad enough wasting time without killing it. And he shuddered at the thought.”
