book-marked

Saw this old, creased bookmark lying around the house. Turned out that years ago, mom bought a bunch of bookmarks on sale. My dad was using it but since he'd rather dog-ear a book's page than look for an old bookmark he'd careless dropped, I claimed it for myself. Claimed, too, the words written on it.

You are a Lover of Words...One Day, You Will Write a Book

People turn to you because you give voice to dreams, notice little things, and make otherwise impossible imaginings appear real. You are a rare bird who thinks the world is beautiful enough to try to figure it out, who has the courage to dive into your wild mind and go swimming there.

You are someone who still believes in cloud watching, people watching, daydreaming, tomorrow, favorite colors, silver clouds, dandelions, and sorrow. Be sacred. Be cool. Be wild. Go far. Words do more than plant miracle seeds. With you writing them, they can change the world.
