"A book in my hand and a dog by my side...We belong together" Edward Gorey
This library belongs to the prolific reader and writer, Alberto Manguel (who has written "The Library at Night" and other works about libraries). His library, housed in a fifteenth-century French stone barn, houses more than 30,000 books. It is not an overwhelmingly grand library with ornate marble or expensive rare hardwood shelves, but is rather the book-centered library of a man obsessed with books. In other words, a place most who are looking at this site would like to spend time in.

Waking Up Full of Awesome: There was a time when you were five years old, and you woke up full of awesome. You knew you were awesome. You loved yourself. You thought you were beautiful, even with missing teeth and messy hair and mismatched socks inside your grubby sneakers. You loved your body, and the things it could do. You thought you were strong. You knew you were smart. Do you still have it? The awesome. Did someone take it from you? Did you let them? Did you hand it over, because someone told you weren’t beautiful enough, thin enough, smart enough, good enough? Why the hell would you listen to them? Did you consider they might be full of shit? Wouldn’t that be nuts, to tell my little girl below that in another five or ten years she might hate herself because she doesn’t look like a starving and Photoshopped fashion model? Or even more bizarre, that she should be sexy over smart, beautiful over bold? Are you freaking kidding me? Look at her. She is full of awesome. You were, once. Maybe you still are. Maybe you are in the process of getting it back. All I know is that if you aren’t waking up feeling like this about yourself, you are really missing out.

Woody Guthrie's 1942 New Year's Resolutions, or "Rulin's," complete with doodling drawings. Among them: Work more and better. Wash teeth if any. Read lots good books. Learn people better. Take bath. Dream good. Dance better. Don't get lonesome. Stay glad. www.commondreams.... I love this...
Amen. Except substitute "artist" for "writer" or "photographer" or "designer" or "performer" or any other creative, undervalued job.
