Silent friends

When you open a book for the first time, it’s like you open the door to someone you just met, a potential friend, to let him or her in. It could turn to be the imaginary friend of your childhood, or it could be your very real best friend.

I think we are never grateful enough for the amazing gift of reading and also writing stories. Without this gift, the books, our silent friends, would not exist and the world of our children would be sad!

I love to read and write and I believe every book I read it was meant to be read, like any person I met on my way it was meant to be, so we could experience an amazing friendship, or not.

Unlike our… human friends who might vanish for blessed or unblessed reasons, books are always there for us, waiting patient on their special shelves to open them again and enjoy their stories. When you read again a book it’s like you visit an old friend, to check his newest story, or an old story re-interpretated.

Don’t forget to read again your favorite books, because you will always discover their stories from a new perspective. Also, don’t forget to check your friends, even when their stories look to be the same, as time goes by.
