From a bubble of privilege, she extolled idleness. I think one must be idle in order to become oneself, she wrote. 'If you have a profession you become part of that profession. With work you become a function. With idleness you become who you are.'

I love this book! My sister introduced me to its splendor. 🪽
“ In this final phase, which remains our own, the best picture of God is the hummingbird.”
“ I soon discovered that almost all the actors I‘d begun to assemble on my little stage…were fanatical about hummingbirds…my attempts to trace the origins of this informal cult of hummingbirds,kept leading back to the Civil War…American during and after the Civil War gradually left behind a static view of existence…they came to see a new dynamism and movement in their lives…This dynamism… found perfect expression in the hummingbird.”
First coffee of the day; first coffee on my porch!

There was some confusion. Apologies for lack of clarity. Hope this clears it up ⬆️ Let @Cuilin know if you have any questions.
My February #bookspinbingo. This morning, I started both The Frozen River and The Third Gilmore Girl as my audiobook. Let‘s go! ❤️📚
My Feb book spin list is a little different this time around since all my books are wrapped in brown paper and numbered… so I‘m just going to go with books 1-25 😂 I have about 230 wrapped TBR books and I‘m supposed to be on a book buying ban until I get through them all… but don‘t tell my kindle unlimited subscription 🤫 #bookspin #bookspinbingo
Here‘s my #bookspinlist for February!
I still have one more day to finish my January books. I don‘t see a bingo happening though. I think I‘ll finish 7 books (I‘m so close to finishing that 7th book), which is a fantastic reading month for me! But….they didn‘t line up for a bingo. 🤷♀️❤️📚
