Magic Carpet Ride


This morning on my daily walk around the complex at work, I noticed a lady sitting in the grass beneath a tree and, I thought, reading a book. What she was actually doing was something on her phone…  It made me a little sad. 

Does anyone read books anymore??  And I'm not talking i-pads or e-books - I mean REAL books. Paper and print and glue. I would so much rather shut out the noise and electronics, and have a book whisk me away to another time or another world, even if only for a few brief moments. 

Books are my magic carpet.
