Tom's Midnight Garden

 

“Nothing stands still, except in our memory.” ― Philippa Pearce

I am a reader.

At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader."

 

                                  —Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

P.S. Happy March, 2026!
