gorgeous...

I posted a challenge awhile back based on this African proverb:

"When an old man dies, a library burns down."

This reminded me of that. Thanks Bri..gentle and quiet, and yet so visual...

After the above comments...hmmmm, a hard
act or acts to follow... Yes, this poem
certainly has much to it, even with the
brevity of it..

This tiny poem had a huge impact on me!
"...the library of her eyes"----I'll not ever forget this line, Brian.

Your mind is obviously

I waited to reply, so that this may be bumped.

I see here a great little movie.

Just 30 seconds of this womans' face as she reviews the stacks.

So, up it goes!
