All the world can hold quite still
July 8th, 2010The past couple of weeks have been so busy and so strange and I feel so mentally unhinged that today I organized, purged, and then rainbow-ordered Hazel’s books as a means of destressing. It worked wonderfully.
EmmaLee & Hazey reading my current favorite & most perfect & wonderful book: All the World. I was so taken with the text that for the first twentysomething reads I overlooked the illustration of a breastfeeding mother (not uncommon for me to see in real life, so it didn’t register for awhile that it’s so uncommon to see in a BOOK). Also: community, various family arrangements, farmer’s market, old Volkswagen bus, dogs, peace and fiddling. What else do you need?
Slip, trip, stumble, fall
Tip the bucket, spill it all
Better luck another day, all the world goes ’round this way
I can think of about 47 adults off the top of my head who could benefit from reading this book :)

I love this book already, Em, just from the few lines you’ve posted here. If I’m not already on your “list” of adults, I should be! :)

Now I’m trying to find something to rainbow organize. I need to test that method of destressing! I hate when busy gets out of hand.

That poorly worded sentence makes it sound like I purged books – I didn’t, just other stuff :)
