Books and Friendship

Posted on

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a shot of a mantel shelf. There are a few photos and plants on the top and the place where there’s a fireplace is crammed full of books of various sizes.

Books borrowed never came back.

Some denied even taking them

Was it my fault to believe in sharing is caring?

What a fool I was.

Now faith is shattered, I hide new purchases from everyone.

It’s better to be considered not caring.

Or I’m wrong again?

Friendship returns with

The return of borrowed books

A pleasant surprise

“Books were my companion, my teacher, my solace. They taught me about the mysteries of love and life.”

About Indira

I knew all along that life is about, love, compassion, compatibility and friendship, but now I have discovered that life is also about sharing the thoughts, encouraging others and getting encouraged. So here I am with my blogs about life, friendship, love, and whatever life has taught me.
