sitting there on the toilet paper roll's cage is a brand new, crisp, light blue colored book
yes, the complete edition of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
my daughter unexpectedly bought a copy for me! if i remember right, this is the very first time she ever gifted me a book and i am so glad, so joyful indeed. this will make this copy a lot more precious, dearest even.
yet, what formed near tears to my eyes was the note she slipped inside the first page
thanks as well, my daughter!
you know what i will do the rest of this fine day?
i'll go to my favorite coffee nook at the nearby mall and order a hot mug of brewed coffee. very black, freshly brewed so that i will see the wisp of steam rise up from the liquid's ebony surface; so that my nose will be beguiled again by that soothing aroma; then i will sit comfortably and rest my aching back against the chair, and then
i will rediscover Jonathan Livingston Seagull's story.
this time, it will be complete ...

Brother Chris
It is not this soon that I expected to get the complete edition. i am so blessed. great stories like this warms my heart and fills it with silent joy.
i must admit rereading this now gives a totally different experience than when i first read it many years back.
Namaste brother, this is the value of our own personal library. So often, I reread an old book only find my changing character has provided the basis for further learning.
In Lak' ech, enjoy brother...
