A Year with EB White
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."----- from Charlotte's Web I am a soul always drawn and fascinated by the idea of " A Year of...". A Year of Rumi. A Year of Calvin and Hobbes.

ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I've just tagged you, come over to our page to see the deal if you fancy joining in.. (it could take several hundred hours !)..lol cheers!

ReplyDeleteWell, to hell with you GTA. My mind is an open book, the world is at my feet! Take that!
Oh, this just makes me want to spit. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteGreat sign, though.
