Journal is an eye-catcher, too, filled w/my wretched penmanship. And the book re mark. I'm oh so grateful for my comfy chair:. 2 A Guerilla Poetics...

http://booksforcalvin.blogspot.com/2008/08/kaboom-books.html

We visited Kaboom Books yesterday, a small bookstore within walking distance of our Church. I've been dying to visit ever since I spied bookshelf upon bookshelf in a charming storefront we pass every Sunday while driving home.

There is a place in you where you have never been wounded, where there's a seamlessness in you, and where there is a confidence and tranquility in you, and I think the intention of prayer and spirituality and love is now and again to visit that inner kind of sanctuary.".
