because I love them and have always loved them from the moment I understood what they are and what they do.
I love them as artifacts and constructions, I love them as repositories and I love making them from stuff I find.
This book is one of my post-apocalyptal artifacts. It is incredibly fragile and lives in a small box of its own. It is an empty book - I have yet to write the poems it will hold.
I love the process of turning pages - even empty pages - its the ACTUALITY and experience of 'page' that I love in that moment.
I remember having to relearn how to turn pages as I regained the use of the right side of my body. I was determined I WOULD turn pages, WOULD read books again.
The moment when scroll transformed into folio must have been delicious!
That is wonderful, I can't wait to see your work again. I miss having you as my friend, Julia - I always knew you loved words and that enthusiasm of yours makes you quite magical and special to me, because I love them too. (I also and especially love riddles.) My daughter also loves words which is why she is a student of Latin.

I would like to invite you to islam ,i know it`s weird to recieve such a mail from somone you don`t know, but actually it`s important that each person on the planet of earth to receive the universal message, & the last one, which is islam.
i know that you may have some doubts about islam , or maybe you never thought about it, but actually when you discover the beauty of that message, which isn`t only a religion or faith to have it in the heart, it`s a daily practicing thing, that you can`t stop thinking of.
it doesn`t prevent you from doing your usual things, on the contrary, it does encourage you to keep practicing them , & not preventing yourself from anything, only prevents you from doing things that may harm you or harm others.
also ,the entertainment activities you like to practice, may cause you to gain a reward by doing them, because it simply releases your energy & directs you towards positive things, & prevents you from negative things.
islam does make you fulfill all aspects of life , your spirit, your body & your mind.
it does not give one side a priority over the other , each is important, & each must be taking care of.
hope that you would give it a thought, i`m really looking forward to receive your reply, & i`m willing to answer any doubt you have in mind about islam (by the will of god)
