wall men sea
Men say their pinnacles point to heaven. Why, so does every tree that buds, and every bird that rises as it sings. Men say their aisles are good for worship.

We are in each other's lives in order to help us see where we most need healing, and in order to help us heal.

Then I celebrated my Wall of Books.
