Destiny of Books

So yesterday I went to this thrift store with my sister to see if i could find some cool new clothes and we were walking around enjoying the time and i was checking out the bookshelf...then i saw this book which was the second of a two part series called "The Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior"...you have probably heard of it....well so i went home and last night I started reading it and it was really good...i really enjoyed it so i was like "Hmm..i need to buy the first one in the series called "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" you have more likely heard of this one....

That brings us to today, my grandmother called and wanted to go to this other thrift store and as this is our favorite pastime, i was like "but of course" so we traveled across town after stopping for food at my personal favorite...the Brazilian Bakery (amazing! and they always ask me why I come in, as I am the ONLY white american i have ever seen in there) anyays...tangent....so then we were off to the thrift store and as usual i do my round...furniture, clothes, shoes, purses and then books last as they take longer.....so i went down every row and I was like "Wow, i really want to buy The Way of the Peaceful warrior, it would be amazing if I could find it at a thrift store" ....but to no avail....so i was leaving and i turned the corner and ALAS there it was lying face up right where I could see it waiting for me to pay the $ .50 to take it home.....

and it was destiny.....my books found me.....

Although Im back

The sweet air still lingers on my tongue
and instead of swallowing it
I would rather let it soak into my skin
and linger throughout my bloodstream
floating in and out of my viens
finding its way through my body
only to escape
through my feet and hands
to be placed on everything
i touch
and to become part of my world
to define my reality
