Welcome to Litsy!

This is one of the longest inscriptions I have in a second hand book. There's obviously a story in Caroline's heartfelt poem to the unnamed recipient of what was presumably a gift for Christmas 1972, but tantalisingly I'll never know, though it opens up realms of speculation 🤔💭💔💘

"We often sing lullabies to our children that we ourselves may sleep."

"The song that lies silent in the heart of a mother sings upon the lips of her child."

“Long ago you were a dream in your mother's sleep, and then she awoke to give you birth.”

We took a walk on Formby beach today, and seeing the sand and the foam whipped up by a bracing wind off the Irish Sea inevitably brought to mind Kahlil Gibran's inspirational book of aphorisms. Time for a re-read 📖
I'm not sure if there will be any quotable passages that I *didn't* post here six years ago! We'll see 😏

“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚

I grew up hearing stories from my dad and grandfather about seeing Yogi play. I loved reading this one and hearing his explanations behind some of his famous “Yogi-isms”
