It is amazing how the Children’s Encyclopedia
remains part of my life, I carry the ancient set
wherever I go, one day Tiaan decided
He needed some Encyclopedias in his bookcase
took a few into his room, now I find volumes
under his bed –
I took them back to the study, now a volume
behind my back on the special computer chair
helps me to sit up straight –
Yesterday I started looking for favourite childhood
pictures in one of the Encyclopedias, found one
which I scanned
I even took two of these volumes to my office,
making sure that the essence of life will always
be with me….
Books may have great meaning within, but without conscious atention and turning of the pages are only a rod for our back?
