Nicked from

wanderlight (whose birthday it was yesterday: happy birthday, Rita!), as I am eager to write more entries that do not fall into the categories of Angst! Angst! Angst! and Stuff That I Did Today. Reading habits meme! Rita told her f-list all to do it, and I extend the same eager curiousity towards you lot as well! I love hearing about how other people interact with books.

( erm, this somehow became spectacularly long. )

...And now to bed! :/

Someday I mean to talk about why Madeleine L'Engle is my hero, in an actual, legitimate, yes, in every way this is the person I want to become, but tonight, all of the words that would take up really ought to be in my NaNo and not elsewhere. But today is her birthday. And I am filled with a great joy and a great sadness. Does Time run that way in Heaven ever sometimes? Can one perhaps look down on Time, run one's fingers through it as one might make ripples in the water? If so, I would like to think that Madeleine and her Hugh are celebrating together: not celebrating Today Is Madeleine Day, but celebrating the beauty of existence, and of the great completion, and of Joy.

"...An hour with a Mozart sonata at the piano is not wasted time but time spent on a real value. Or really listening, without talking, to music. Or going for a walk to see the beauty around one, or the real importance of a view from a window."

Madeleine, I love you.
